Dr. Espinoza. Is an excellent Doctor he actually listen to the problem of the patient and try to find out your problem in stead of saying it just arthritis or just getting old
Pain so inexplicable and unimaginable that it really doesn't rank on the charts because it is beyond "10", then Dr. Espinoza shows concern and displays patience, and orders the necessary tests, then proceeds with care that is unmatched. Having been referred to Dr. Espinoza by my chiropractor I was desperate, however, none too hopeful for relief, but Dr. Espinoza received me as a new patient. Although it has been close to two years now, he has stayed the course and seems determined to recommend all viable options to get me over this hurdle. Dr. Espinoza will be my go-to orthopedist always. I would suggest anyone needing an Orthopedic Surgeon consider giving him a call. P.S. He wears very interesting socks. If you can move beyond your pain, they are a great conversation starter😉.
Straight to the point with options an very understanding an patience with a smile
Very professional and was attentive to my needs. He gave me several options for treatment. I will be having him perform my procedure.
Very Nice Young Man him and his staff where very professional Glad I went to see him and my knee haven’t fell this good in a long time ,Thanks Dr: Espinoza.
Dr. Espinoza was thorough and spent plenty of time with us
I played sports for many years I understand how to loose weight and what not . My hip has a tear in it preventing me from playing sports. So to tell me I’m fat and that’s my problem is a you problem!
Very patient, listened and took time to answer all my questions.
Haven’t seen him since the surgery.
Dr. Espinoza is compassionate, knowledgeable, and a good listener. He doesn’t “jump” to surgery, but assesses the issue thoroughly. I highly recommend him!
