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. Espinoza was smart, caring, patient abd kind. A genuinely nice, helpful doctor. He is what we wish all doctors would be!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Espinoza is a caring, attentive doctor. He asked lots of questions to better understand my situation. He explained everything very clearly and I am confident with the additional tests will get to the root of my problem. His staff is also very caring and communicative. Highly recommend Dr. Espinoza!

Can not contact the office by phone Horrible serv
Dr is great. The Dr's office had to cancel my appointment on 6-1-22. OK. I have tried for 2 weeks to contact the offic e to reschedule and no one answers the phone. I had to go into the office to have the Dr's office call me back. The office leaves a message to call and I call back right away no answer for 35 minutes . My lunch break. I am looking for a new Dr that am able to contact

I was a direct admission to Methodist Texsan on Thanksgiving afternoon. I had seen multiple physicians prior to the sudden cardiac events . None of the previous providers were able to develop a correct diagnosis resulting in cardiac crisis and quintuple by-pass surgery. Dr. Espinoza was the Cardiologist and helped my wife and I sort through many clinical issues. Dr. Espinoza's guidance was instrumental in helping us develop a care plan that made sense for us and helped me return to work. At no time were we rushed. Dr. Espinoza always answered our questions and always clarified any ambiguous issues for us. He has a straight-forward communication style and genuinely cares for his patients.

I was impressed with their operation during COVID outbreak. Take temperatures and screen you at door and then have you wait in your car until they get you to see doctor. Very professional way to protect against transmission.

Smart, attentive, personable, thorough—-Dr. Espinoza is everything I had hoped for in a cardiologist. I felt confident after my visit. The tests he ordered seemed appropriate. He explained what he ordered and why. I appreciated getting a copy of the results through the portal. I also liked that all major tests and appointments were scheduled before I left. The fact that he is very handsome was just icing on the cake!??

My visits to see Dr. Espinoza are always pleasant and professional. His staff is courteous and professional. I have one complaint: your phone answering system, to be courteous, is "CHALLENGING" short of using expletives. Doctor and Staff wise, all is good.
