Texas Digestive Disease Consultants

What Texas Digestive Disease Consultants does

Texas Digestive Disease Consultants (TDDC, legal entity TDDC, PLLC) is a physician-owned gastroenterology practice headquartered in Southlake, Texas. Founded in 1990 and operating for over 30 years, TDDC is self-described as the largest gastroenterology practice in the United States, employing roughly 100-120 board-certified gastroenterologists across more than 60 clinic locations spanning the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio, and Houston metropolitan areas. Its service offering spans the full GI tract: diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy (colonoscopy, EGD, ERCP, EUS, capsule endoscopy, enteroscopy, FibroScan liver elastography), colorectal surgery, infusion therapy for IBD, anorectal care, colon cancer screening, telemedicine follow-ups, and participation in clinical trials for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

The operating model is built around an integrated clinical network that pairs general and specialty GI clinics with three dedicated ambulatory surgery centers (Lone Star Endoscopy Center — Keller and Southlake), the COPE Center for Colorectal & Pelvic Health, an on-site pathology lab, multiple infusion centers, and a research arm. Acquired brands including Greater Houston Gastroenterology (joined 2017) and Gastroenterology Care Consultants (joined 2018) operate under the TDDC umbrella, with TDDC itself functioning as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the national gastroenterology platform GI Alliance.

The business is a fee-for-service medical practice, billing primarily through commercial insurance and Medicare with self-pay and Good Faith Estimate options for uninsured patients per No Surprises Act requirements. Revenue is generated per encounter and per procedure rather than through subscription or capitated contracts. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, insurance network participation, in-network acceptance across most major Texas payers, content marketing (educational blog, YouTube, provider directory), and the practice's brand reputation; payment flows almost entirely from third-party payers rather than from any single large customer.
