Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Esslinger is the best doctor I've ever had
Before joining Dr Esslinger's practice, I had a couple of chronic issues that were nearly out of control. The focus was immediately on getting me better. Over the years, there has been coaching, guidance in addition to all the medical things you'd expect to help get me healthy. My conditions are now under control, I'm healthier than I've been in years and very happy with everyone in Dr Esslingers practice.

... excellent Doctor. Explains all issues well. Friendly, helpful demeanor. I've been with him since 2003 (for several reasons, among them his level of competency). His diagnostic skills, as well as being proactive in my preventative care, are excellent.

My Primary Care Physician for 25+ years
Dr Esslinger has been my physician for many years due to the care received. He always takes the time to explain any treatments/medications and is an excellent diagnostician. Since joining the MDVIP program he is now much more accessible and has more time to spend with his patients. I have never left his office feeling rushed or having unanswered questions.

5 Star Health Care
I've been seeing Dr. Esslinger for over 22 years, and he has always been professional and genuine in helping me with my healthcare needs. Once joining MDVIP with Dr. Esslinger, he provided me with his cell phone # in case of emergencies. I had a stroke on Thanksgiving night 3 years ago, and texted him, he returned my call within 2 minutes! Almost unheard of in today's environment. He was also critical is evaluating a heart decease and referred me to a good cardiologist. I literally owe my life to Dr. Esslinger.

Fantastic doctor
Dr Esslinger has been quickly available when I’ve been sick or injured. He thoroughly examines, tests, prescribes and follows up on my ailments and my overall health. He and his office staff are top-notch in my opinion. He’s been my primary physician for about 15 years.
