And this patient’s experience with 𝗗𝗿. 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗛𝘂𝗶 𝗛𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗵 reflects exactly what we strive for at Houston Gastro Institute.

From asking thoughtful questions to carefully reviewing medical records, Dr. Hsieh took the time to truly listen — making the visit relatable, informative, and reassuring. The patient left feeling understood, empowered, and confident in their care.

That’s the kind of partnership we believe every patient deserves.

That’s why screening guidelines now recommend colonoscopy starting at age 𝟰𝟱 (and earlier if you have symptoms or family history).

A colonoscopy is quick, preventive, and can 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 by catching precancerous polyps long before they turn into cancer.

As we head into the heart of the holiday season, we’ve been talking a lot at 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 about 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — not just for celebrations, but for taking care of what matters most. 💚

This time of year moves fast. Schedules fill up, routines shift, and health often takes a back seat. Behind the scenes, our 𝗛𝗚𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 is doing what we do best: showing up early, staying late, supporting one another, and making sure our patients feel cared for, seen, and safe — even during one of the busiest seasons of the year.

I’m incredibly grateful for this team. The consistency, professionalism, and heart they bring every day is what allows us to care for patients thoughtfully — not rushed — even when life feels full.

And to our patients: thank you for trusting us as you prepare for the holidays — whether that’s getting a screening done, managing symptoms before travel, or simply prioritizing your health so you can fully enjoy time with family and friends.

As the rest of the year unfolds, our focus remains the same:
✅ Prevention
✅ Partnership
✅ Whole-person care
