Reviews for Houston Colon and Rectal Surgery

Dr. Tal Raphaeli was the best for my procedure. I literally haven't felt like this since I was a teenager. I truly thank Dr. Raphaeli for getting me back to normal. I would definitely refer him to anyone. More

Dr. Azi is not only professional but very caring toward his patients and staff. While maintaining a high level of professionalism toward me, I also witnessed his playful side with his staff while they were working on my file/insurance. Such a breath of fresh air to see a doctor treat his staff like family. He is extremely gentle during the exam, and explained everything in detail, including my options. I had an emergency visit and he and his staff were able to schedule surgery the next day. I have already given is name to a colleague, so when she is ready to have surgery she knows who to contact. More

I was referred to this office by my ob-gyn, and I am glad I came. Very organized office, I could tell by their conversations that they are close-knit group. I will return.I do recommend Dr Azimuddin and his Staff. Dr Azimuddin oversees every aspect of procedure,consultation,explanations,scheduling,step by step throughout the entire time. I felt at ease. Thank You Again. More

Dr. Azimuddin is the best and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent doctor/surgeon. He took such great care of our dad before, during and after the procedure. Dr. Azimuddin answered all our questions before we even asked. He took his time to explain everything in detail and took his time to listen to us. It's not easy to find someone that you can trust to take care of your loved one. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have met him. He went above and beyond for us and will forever be thankful! More

I have been Dr Azimuddin’s patient since 2017 and found him very knowledgeable, well experienced and compassionate. Highly recommended!!! More

Dr. Azimuddin is absolutely great with his patients. During and post-surgery Dr. Azimuddin and his staff were very professional and took special care of all my needs. I even suggested Dr. Azimuddin to my family and they have also consulted with him and benefited. More

My visit with Dr. Azimuddin was very straightforward and kind. He treated me and helped my family deal with my condition. I am now able to work again 4 months after surgery. Others look at me and are surprised to the speed of my recovery. Currently I fly in to Houston for my regular check ups. I highly recommend him. Listen to his suggestions. He is always frank and honest with his patients. Again highly recommended. More

Dr Azi is my favorite doctor in the world. He truly cares about his patients, goes above and beyond the call of just being a doctor. He is a friend. He has helped me many times throughout the last 10 years. I have had a blood clot that he saved me from, I have had two colonoscopies, and he has been an "on-call" expert during a surgery. Yes, the office staff does leave a little to be desired for, but just keep calling the call system, your call will eventually be returned. More

Dr. Tad Raphaeli is an outstanding surgeon that takes great care of his patients and I thank God to let me get in touch with him to take care of my Colovesical issue and now I'm very lucky to say that I'm enjoying my good health again. I definitely recommend him and his staff as they are very professional and extremely helpful. More

Excellent experience. Dr. Raphaeli & his Staff are EXCELLENT! One suggestion. When one is required to fill out new patient paperwork they should be advised when the appointment is made and then be given the option to have said paperwork mailed to them so they can complete at home where all of their records and information is at. That would speed thing up for all concerned and make it the requirement more much patient friendly !! More

Caring and organized More

Fantastic doctor, best bedside manner More

Dr. Khawja Azimuddin is an outstanding surgeon. I cannot thank him enough for the surgery he performed on me -- which was seamless and pain free for me ... beyond my wildest imagination !!! Thank you Dr. Azimuddin !! More

Great Doctor, he talks to you and explains what is real going on with you. More

I talked to Dr. Khawaja Azimuddin and described my situation. He pinpointed the problem and provided an onsite procedure. I have felt much better since. I have confidence that Dr. Khawaja Azimuddin will fix my problem. Thanks a lot. More

I took my mother who had rectal prolapse to a surgeon at another well known hospital. Surgery was scheduled twice but postponed for one reason or another. Someone recommended Dr. Azimuddin and I took my mother to him. Doctor and all the staff were very cordial and professional. surgery was planned without any hassle. I'll update the remarks after the surgery. More

He is a god for me. Just because of Dr Azi , I am living a happy life . God bless you a healthy life More

Dr. Tal was professional, made a quick diagnosis, gave me literature on my problem and a prescription sample. He wrote a prescription and I was on my way. They took me at my appointment time. More

I'm leaving this review about Dr Azimuddin. I was having issues for almost 2 years. I had been to 2 other physicians seeking treatment. Neither of them could accurately diagnose my problems and I was in constant pain. After seeing good reviews for Dr Azimuddin I decided I would give him a try. I wish I had found him first and not wasted my time with the other doctors. He was able to list out possible sources of the problem and quickly schedule my surgery. After the surgery, my problems have been resolved greatly. More

Everything went well.I was told about how things was going to be so far so good post operation More

Dr. Azimuddin was wonderful. I had rectocele repair surgery and he was amazing. He was very understanding and his bedside manner was excellent. I would highly recommend him More

Dr. Azumuddin is an amazing doctor. He has been great through my unexpected sickness. He operated on me, which was a big surgery. He explained the process and was very comforting. Happy with the surgery and the care after the surgery. I would highly recommend. More

None more caring, concered or capable in providing colon care.5C = 5 🌟 More

He is a good doctor and he care about his patience More

Dr. Azimuddin performed a complex and difficult operation on a family member and we had outstanding results. We are very pleased with his skills as a surgeon and the care he provided before and after the operation. We cannot recommend him any more highly. More

Dr. Raphaeli is a great doctor and was able to correct my issues. More

Professional and friendly staff. Didn't have to wait long for an appointment. I felt very happy with my visit and with the doctor More

Dr. Azi is a life saver! He diagnosed my rectal cancer and jumped right into action. He literally pulled out his cell phone and began consulting with an oncologist and radiologist. Dr. Azi is the type of doctor that truly cares about his patients and will do anything ensure the best care. I am forever grateful for him. More

Dr. Azimuddin came highly recommended and he delivered very well. He was very diligent, kind, patient, and understanding of my condition. He was also very knowledgeable of how to correctly treat my issue without complications. I am and will be ever in his debt for the treatment that I received. My life was extended and I have lived to witness the marriages of my two youngest children, the birth of a grandson, and expecting to welcome a new granddaughter this spring. I trust Dr. Azi with my life. More

DR. Raphaeli was very professional and thorough. He explained my procedure in detail, what to expect during surgery, length of recovery, and how to alleviate pain post-surgery. All scheduled appointments were prompt, no waiting around. I would definitely recommend his practice to anyone. More

Dr Azi is an excellent doctor and the staff is very helpful. More

Dr. Raphaeli is the BEST OF THE BESTHe is very patient and understanding. I have health anxiety and he was very patient with me and explained everything in great detail. He's very confident and excellent at what he does, which put my mind at ease. I am so very happy that I found him and i will refer him to anybody and everybody who needs the greatest colorectal surgeon in Houston. If you are in need of a CRS, look no further, He's the Dr. you have been searching for.. More

Made the appointment when all drs had turned me away and finally referred me to Dr. Azimuddin for serious infection and pain. Dr. Azimuddin was so kind, as were his staff. He is knowledgeable clever, witty, with an excellent bedside manner. Drs with skill and excellent people skills seem to be few and far between but Dr. Azimuddin definitely has both. Hands down would refer him to any family member. More

It was such a pleasure to have had Dr. Azimuddin as my doctor for this procedure! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in his field, but he was very reassuring and made me feel like I was in great hands. Everything from the initial consultation, operation and post-op appointment went smoothly. I wish I would have gone to see him way sooner! Highly recommended 🙏🏼 Thank you for taking care of me. More

Dr. Khawaja Azimuddin is the miracle god gave me through him, he saw my pain and exactly knew what i was going thru and immediately asked me admit in hospital and did my surgery on the same day. He is very knowledgeable and his team is very friendly, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering the pain due to Colon & Rectum and other similar Diseases. More

Dr. Azimuddin was great. I highly recommend him. More

Dr. Azimuddin was Great!! He was patient with me and took the time and explained all that I needed to do to have a recovery that would be quick and as painless as possible. Highly recommend him and his great staff for a job well done. More

Dr. Raphaeli is very friendly and professional and answered all of my questions. His staff is very helpful and courteous. I will continue to go to Dr. Raphaeli as necessary. More

Dr. Azimuddin (Dr Azi) is amAZIng :-) He is very knowledgeable, understandable, and patient (especially with those of us that may be a little stubborn and untrusting of doctors in general) More

Dr. Raphaeli made the experience as comfortable as possible. He has such a wonderful demeanor with his patients as well as my husband that was with me. He made sure to answer all of my questions and give me a detailed visit in which he described my options for my diagnosis. I would recommend him to anyone in my family. Thank you Doc! More

I had a great overall experience, if you can even say that about a surgery. I have had a number of surgeries over the years for various things, but this was my first experience with Dr. Azimuddin. I was expecting the worst due to the type of procedure, recovery time, pain, etc. I was pleasantly surprised that there was much less recovery pain than I have experienced with other surgeries and I had no complications at all. Dr. Azimuddin was very thorough as I would expect any surgeon to be before and after the surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Azimuddin and Houston Colon and Rectal Surgery for any type of colon or rectal surgery. More

Everytime I visited Dr.Azimuddin Khawaja, I got a nice experience. The way he treats the people in pain, that is incredible. His words are more than enough than any treatment because his findings are exact and he convinces both by his words and treatment. More

Amazing doctor and surgeon! I finally found the doctor who listens, understands and does everything for you to heal in no time. He is very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, respectful and generous. I can't thank him enough for everything he's done for me. Strongly recommend! More

Dr. Raphaeli is incredible surgeon who truly cares about his patients. My surgery was 5 hours long and he was completely successful. I am forever thankful and grateful and trust my next surgery with him will go as well. I can’t say enough good things about him. More

Happy&good experience More

Dr. Azimuddin is very knowledgable, kind and comforting. He fully explained my surgery and answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand. He is a wonderful doctor and his staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend him if you need a colon and rectal specialist. More

Dr. Azi has been so great through a hectic year I had last year. He asked me every question I wanted to ask but if course never think of when you get there. He didnt just see me for the exam he sat down with me explained everything about the surgery & made sure I knew everything I needed to know. He even took the time to be sure everything was good after my surgery as well. Hes a great doctor and the staff has always been fast to take care of any calls with questions or appts needing to be rescheduled or even medication refills. I highly recomend him & his team if you need a colon and rectal specialist. More

I am really grad, I was referred to Dr Azimudin by my PCP. The surgery went well and was fast. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend. More

Very great doctor More

I was referred by my dr for hemmoroids i made a appt and arrived one week earlier than my scheduled date and was told that i could be seen. Dr R listened to my concerns and preformed a exam and Concluded that I indeed needed surgery. I had to reschedule and they were very accommodating. On the of it did take a bit of time to get to the surgery room. I did see the dr before during the nurse visit. As I was wheeled off to surgery i was repositioned and woke up in aftercare. There was a bit of pain and i was given som morphine. This did not work as well as the tylenol 3. The ibuprofen did the job so i never really took the tylenol 3 again. Although a uncomfortable procedure it's not a bad experience. Very nice dr Thank you. More

I was told I needed surgery by another Doctor on a Thursday, met with Dr. Azi on Monday and had surgery on Wednesday. He is kind and compassionate. I was immediately comforted by his confidence and his knowledge. When I went into my preop appointment at the hospital, I was further comforted by the nurse who said she used to work with him. She told me "he is the best at what he does". Other doctors I have been working with all knew him and have had nothing but nice things to say about him. He is not only a great doctor; he is a very nice person. He explains everything and is very comforting. I would recommend him to anyone. What a great guy! More

My husband saw Dr. Raphaeli today after seeing 3 other colorectal doctors. He is by far the best! He listened well and reviewed CT Scan and colonoscopy reports. He recommended a treatment plan. We like his demeanor and the way he talked to us in plain language. He was on time for a 3pm appointment which is unusual for a specialist. His staff were friendly and courteous. More

Dr. Azimuddin was able to correct a problem I have been struggling with for years. Understanding that my insurance deductible was about to reset he was able schedule me in on his Birthday that week. I am thankful for finding this facility. More

Dr. Azimuddin has been my doctor through two surgeries, a couple diagnostic procedures, some hospital stays, and many in-office visits. He is always friendly, makes me feel comfortable, and is always concerned about my progress. He gives direct answers and takes the time to make sure I (and my parents) understand things. I always feel comfortable asking him any questions I have. Any nurse or hospital staff I've talked to always has great things to say about him. This has been a long journey through some pretty serious medical issues and Dr. Azi has been a great doctor to have on my side. I've also had Dr. Knapp visit me in the hospital on occasion and can only say good things about him too. More

One of the best doctors I've ever been to new Exactly wat was wrong with me in and out real fast and very good prices and I don't even have insurance would definitely recommend raphaeli More

Excellent doctor, had 2 surgeries prior with different doctors but still had issues, 1 surgery with Dr.Azimuddin and I've been pain free for months. His personality is a bit dry but other than he's a wonderful doctor. More

I cannot say enough about Dr. Azimuddin. I suffered with a fissure for over 6 months. Day in and day out of constant, agonizing pain. When I had been turned away from two other doctors writing them off his hemorrhoids, I knew my body and knew they were something more problematic. I thank God I found Dr. Azimuddin. We didn't spend more than 5 minutes in the room together before he ushered me to his office and scheduled surgery. One week later, he performed the 15 minute surgery and since that day (3 months ago) I have not had ONE day of pain! He knows what he is doing, please don't put it off. I was scared to death but I will NEVER wait again. Go see him. He is an absolute God send. Thank you again Dr. Azimuddin! I can never repay you for giving me my life back! More

Had surgery six months ago and I’m feeling grate since then thanks to the intervention of Doctor Azimuddin. More

I am really glad I was referred to Dr. Azimuddin by my PCP. I had terrible hemorrhoids and he walked me through my options, before I made the decision to have a hemorrhoidectemy. He doesn't show much emotion and it straight to the point, which I appreciated, but not everyone does.A few days after my surgery, he saw me for a same day appointment because I was in pain that I thought was more than I thought I should feel. But after a discussion and guidance on keeping on top of my medications, within 24 hours, I was a different person. It was like a light switch.While he seems unemotional, he seems to really care about his patients, and was very patient with my questions.I highly recommend Dr. Azimuddin to anyone for any procedures or office visits he offers. More

Dr. Azimuddin is awesome. Always on time and very caring. More

A couple months ago I suffered from severe pain in my lower abdomen which caused much difficulty when going to the restroom. My rating on this pain was a 10.After several Doctors failed to determine the source of my pain, I was lucky at last to have my gynecologist confirm it was a colon problem and that I needed to seek out the help of a specialist. My journey to Dr. Azimuddin was not an easy one as I was initially scheduled to have the procedure done in Miami. Due to a tropical storm my appointment was cancelled so I decided to head to Texas where I had family. My sister searched online for Colon specialist and there was Dr. Azimuddin of the Houston Colon & Rectal surgery with great reviews. Honestly my encounter with Dr. Azimuddin can only be described as ‘A Blessing’. In a nutshell, we emailed him in the evening for an urgent appointment given my level of pain. Imagine, Dr. Azimuddin was online and responded immediately confirming that he would fit me in for an appointment the next day. He was able to review all paper work and advise all next steps in order to have the procedure done quickly. A colonoscopy was done to confirm source of pain followed by a colon resection. I vouch that Dr. Azimuddin and his team lived up to their commitment to the patient of:1) Immediate access to care2) Complete Evaluation of GI Tract3) Rapid Relief of Symptoms4) Individualized Treatment for meIn addition, I felt very comfortable knowing that I was being attended to by someone with so much experience and knowledge in his field. The level of professionalism was impeccable and I knew from my first appointment that I would be ok.My surgery was minimally invasive and my recovery has been nothing short of amazing.Thank you Dr. Azimuddin for making me pain free and able to live life to the fullest again.

Great bedside manner. Sweet man, highly recommended. More

"All I had is Medicare" My husband said "And they treated me like a prince." We were having a crisis. My husband was passing large blood clots and bleeding a lot from his rectum. We had been told there was "something" in his colon on the CAT scan and were scared to death. They went above and beyond to do everything they could. He's an old crippled guy, on Medicare. They treated him like a VIP. We had a great experience with the office staff - who took the time to explain everything, and Dr Raphaeli. Dr. R looked at our records and scheduled my husband for a prompt colonoscopy. Since we are non-driving due to disability he took pains to make sure it would happen locally so we wouldn't have transportation difficulties. The procedure was fast, the results good (no cancer!). We have a proper diagnosis and a treatment plan. Houston Colon and Rectal, and Dr R, went above and beyond to serve both of us, and for that they have my undying gratitude. More
