Patient Reviews
Sep 12, 2018
I think Dr. Urrutia is one of the best gastroenterologists in the city of Houston, even his peers agree! He is highly preofessional and truly cares about his patients and their welfare. Most people don't like getting scopes but his wonderful demeanor and bedside manner make it easy and his knowledge in his craft should put anyone at ease. Let's be honest, the worst part is the prep and you take care of that at home!
