Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Updates At Frio Regional Hospital

Frio Regional Hospital continues to strive to provide every patient with personalized, safe, top-quality care without the need to travel far. As Frio Regional Hospital continues to grow its capabilities, we are transitioning away from Texas Digestive Disease Consultants (TDDC) in favor of directly bringing the exceptional care of our highly skilled general surgeon, Dr. Carlos Godinez, to our community! With expertise in advanced procedures and a commitment to quality care, Dr. Godinez is proud to bring his experience in screening colonoscopies and upper gastrointestinal endoscopies (EGDs) to Pearsall.

Scheduling Made Easy

In the past, patients often scheduled directly with TDDC. Moving forward, all appointments for these procedures can be made directly with Frio Regional Hospital and/or Dr. Godinez’ office in the ReadyCare building. If you have PPO insurance and previously scheduled with TDDC, rest assured that you can still receive the same high-quality care by contacting Dr. Godinez’s office.

Top Quality Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Services, Close to Home

Dr. Godinez provides a wide range of services, including:

• Screening colonoscopies and cancer prevention services for colon and rectal cancer.

Dr. Godinez and our dedicated team prioritize accessibility, quality, and follow-up, ensuring comprehensive care and the best outcomes for our patients. We will continue to maintain a close relationship with TDDC in case a referral to a specialist is needed.
