Q&A With Dr. Dominguez
Question: Why Did You Get Into Healthcare?
Dr. Dominguez: I realized I had a calling to help those who are sick. When I was young, my grandfather started feeling sick and was later diagnosed with gastric cancer. I was eager to help him in any way I could. I would accompany him to his doctor’s appointments so I could explain to my family what the doctors had said. When he finally passed away, I knew I wanted to become a doctor so I could take care of people like my grandfather and make an impact in their life and their family.
Question: What Drew You To Gastroenterology?
Dr. Dominguez: During my third year of medical school, I had the opportunity to rotate through a 2-week gastroenterology elective. One day I went to the ER to see a patient who was having GI bleeding. The patient needed an emergent upper endoscopy where we found him to have a bleeding stomach ulcer. I was amazed at how the GI attending handled scope and how quickly he “put out the fire” as he swiftly stopped the bleeding stomach ulcer to save the man’s life. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to become a gastroenterologist.

Dr Dominguez is an excellent doctor and a very special person. He is very attentive. He is the best! Thank you Dr Dominguez
I met Dr. Dominguez when I had a medical emergency in February. I live two hours away from Houston and am so thankful I drove the distance to great medical care at Memorial Hermann where I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dominguez. He was truly a God send! After I was released for follow-up care with him, and he worked tirelessly to get to the bottom of my issue, I am happy to say for the first time in a LONG time, I am 100% back to normal. I cannot tell you how many times Dr. Dominguez personally called to check on me. I have never had a doctor personally call to see how I was doing! Not to mention his wonderful staff. They are truly a well-oiled machine! When you call his office, you actually speak to someone who can answer your questions, and if they cannot, they put you in contact with someone who can, and they immediately return your calls. Not to mention that Dr. Dominguez has great brunch recommendations!!!!
Excelente Doctor, muy profesional y 100% recomendable.

Excellent GI specialist! I have sent multiple friends and family members to see Dr. Dominguez. He has a wonderful staff both at his office and his endoscopy center. Top notch bedside manners, exceptionally knowledgable, and technically gifted. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Dr. Dominguez & his staff are wonderful! He is the type of doctor that will sit and listen to all of your concerns and address them instead of having one foot out the door and in a rush to get to the next patient. His staff is always super helpful and polite. I've been going here for a little over a year now and am so happy to have found such a caring facility.
He is such a beautiful person, and he knows what he is doing. Don't go to anyone else. He's a GODDEND.
Dr. Dominguez at Digestive Health Specialist has a great practice. I highly recommend their service when in need of corrective digestion issues, or routine procedures.

What an amazing experience this has been. Dr. Dominguez is the kind of doctor you would want in your corner during a stressful situation. Knowledgeable, empathetic and available to all your questions. Amazing bed side manners.
Went in for a colonoscopy and endoscopy for the first time. His explanations were clear and exhaustive, his stuff was super friendly and accommodating. My check in was at 8.30 and by 10.30 it was all done and I was awake and ready to go home.
He followed up with me after the procedure to make sure I was ok. All the paperwork for the prep and post procedure was clear and on point. I really don't know what else I could have wished for... oh yea, the doc speaks Spanish if you need it! 5 stars plus! 🌟

Dr. Christian Domínguez is an excellent doctor, his service is excellent, the procedure was very fast, the doctor explained everything to me in simple words, he is very friendly, a professional 100% recommended.
Loved the quality of care, consistent communication and thoughtful followup - had both upper and lower GI scoped. Growing old sucks, but when I need my next colonoscopy checkin, I’ll be coming back here!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Dominguez's office, and I must say it was a truly exceptional experience. Dr. Dominguez is not only professional and caring, but he also took the time to ensure that I received the exact tests I needed, without any unnecessary extras. What truly stood out to me was his willingness to review labs and tests that were not initially in his system, going above and beyond to provide comprehensive care.
I also want to give a special shout-out to his MA, Crystal, who played a crucial role in my care journey. Crystal worked tirelessly to ensure I had enough samples during the insurance denial process, navigating through the challenges with grace and efficiency. Her dedication was instrumental in securing a significant cost reduction for my medication, making a $2k/month drug affordable at just $50/month.
As someone working in the healthcare industry, I have a trained eye for exceptional care, and I can confidently say that Dr. Dominguez, Crystal, and the entire office deserve a perfect 10/10 rating. I wholeheartedly recommend them and consider them worthy of a glowing 5-star review. Thank you, Dr. Dominguez, Crystal, and the entire team, for your outstanding service and dedication to patient care.

Dr. Dominguez is one of the best physicians I have ever encountered in my lifetime. During my 1st visit with him, he introduced himself and immediately expressed his condolences for a very recent loss that I endured. He heard my every concern and was reassuring and empathetic. His knowledge and expertise is top tier. He knows exactly how he can best help his patients and he’s very sincere while doing so. I am so grateful to have him on my health journey, he’s truly the greatest!!! His staff is also super lovely and very helpful!
