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.

Excellent Doctor
Dr Espinosa and her staff are excellent medical professionals who care about their patients. Dr Espinosa and the Nurse Practitioners wh work with take the time to thoroughly explain their findings and to answer questions. I could not imagine better care for my prediabetes. I have improved to the point that I can say I'm no longer prediabetic based on the recent labs results.

Espinoza is ok... It is her arrogant Nurse Practitioner who is worthless. She over prescribed insulin and made me end up in the ER on the weekend. She needs an attitude adjustment. She really is useless. She refused to accept responsibility and that fact the she made a horrible mistake. Also, an additional $150. out of pocket fee. She is very spiteful. do not go to them.

I do not recommend this practice. I have been a patient for YEARS and honestly, I have been horrible lately about canceling appts, but what just occurred is unbelievable to me. I just received a certified letter stating that I have been discharged as a patient. No one has ever said that I could be discharged as a patient due to cancellations. I would think they would at least speak to me about the issue or send me a letter, like they sent certified mail, informing me of this possibility.

I went to Dr Espinosa because I was experiencing low energy a year out from having my thyroid removed. She was so helpful. She was very understanding, showed interest and compassion. She changed my medication. The very next day, I felt like a new person. She also scheduled lab work for six weeks out to check my thyroid hormone level as well as a few other energy-related things to make sure that my energy problem was due to the thyroid issue. I am extremely grateful.

She's very cold...not personable at all. Very by the book, which is great but she could soften her stance and have better bed side manners. I was in her office less than fifteen minutes for her to say I don't know why you are here Really? I'm telling you my concerns for a reason. I was referred to you for a reason, not just to collect my money and have me leave in tears, with no concern or compassion.
