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.

Best of the best
Dr Espe has been the only pediatric physician our son has seen for eighteen years. Great bedside manner and a great communicator as well as a great listener.

Excellent pediatrician
Dr. Espe has been *the* pediatrician for all of my children starting from the birth of my eldest in the late 1980s up to now with my youngest just about to age out of the practice. He’s helped get us through all the usual childhood illnesses (and some weird ones) with sincere care, compassion and understanding. Dr. Espe never talked down to us or rushed visits, and we felt like equal and valued partners in our children’s healthcare, even when we had differing opinions. The kids all love him too - he made each one feel special at their visits, speaking directly to them, asking them about school and siblings, listening intently to their responses. Very highly recommended.

Dr Espe has treated our son for several years. From his day of birth, (a few weeks premature), to adolescence, Dr Espe has been with us all the way. He is an excellent doctor - caring, compassionate and so professional. He has been able to diagnose things quickly and keep my son healthy. So thankful to have found him.

Dr Espe has treated my daughter for the last year, he was truly amazing to work with! I wish we didn't have to move doctors, I got a new job and insurance is now out of network with him. It was a tough decision to leave, maybe one day we will be back, I hope! The staff was always amazing to us as well, not a single negative thing to say about the care at Child Care Limited.
