she’s wonderful she listens to you. She’s upbeat and you feel that she takes all the time you need.
She was very informative, and took extra time to explain options
Concerned with my needs and medical History.I feel very confident with her surgical options.
She is the best.
Appointment started 45 minutes late. It is the Doctors job to manage the schedule. She could have had x rays done prior to making me wait that long.
I more or less knew what to expect because the dx was obvious, but Dr. Esposito was fine, efficient. Hopefully the shot will work as she said the statistics are 60-70% of the time effective.
The entire team at Emerge was great: Dr Esposito, her PA Nick, and all the cast and radiology technicians. A++
Very nice and concerned with my problem.. Agreed on plan of action from this point!
Very pleased with my visit with Dr. K . Espisito
She is an outstanding communicator and well as an component doctor. I was very please with the outcome of my surgery and recovery. Thanks Dr. Esposito.
