Dan C Rice, MD - Austin Gastroenterology
HistoryAustin Gastroenterology evolved from two individual private practices. Austin Gastroenterology Associates (AGA), PA, the first GI practice in Austin, was established in 1980 with two physicians: William Gamel, MD (retired) and George Willeford III, MD. AGA grew to include Craig Lubin, MD; Rashad E. Dabaghi, MD; Richard M. Sperling, MD; and Robert Frachtman, MD. In April 1998, AGA merged with Becker, Rice & Utts, PA to form Austin Gastroenterology Associates, PLLC. In January 2001, the group merged with Austin Digestive Disease Associates, PLLC to become the present-day form of the practice, Austin Gastroenterology, PA. Since that time, Austin Gastroenterology has expanded to include 32 board-certified physicians and 26 mid-level providers who provide service to patients throughout north, central, and south Austin. AG now delivers care from 12 full-time offices, 6 part-time offices, and two endoscopy centers.
