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.

Super Friendly and to the point

I had a very good experience even though I hate doctors Yajaira Garza was super friendly and informative during the triage process and Dr. Escamilla is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable right away and that's very much appreciated. He gave me different options and asked me to look into them so I can see what best feels my needs and didn't just say this is what you need and that's it. Couldn't of asked for a better experience thank you escamjlla team!

Dr Escamilla is a wonderful person he listens to you. You can ask him anything if he doesn't know what to say he'll find out for you. He's a very caring Dr. I wouldn't switch Dr at all.

Excellent doctor, but he needs to clean house with his staff members incapable of returning phone calls, don't follow instructions, unfriendly, and need to have additional in house training due to their lack of customer (patient) service. If it wasn't for the doctor I would've changed to a different doctor a long time ago.

I'm so sad! I really like Dr Escamilla but waiting one hour and 45 minutes? I was never checked on or told "there was a delay" or even just "sorry we're running a little late today". I always arrive early to do paperwork so I don't know what the problem was. The girls up front are always great but I cannot take off from work to go sit somewhere anymore!

Dr Escamilla has been my parent's doctor for over 10 years. He is very sweet and caring. Takes his time with his patients and explains everything in detail. The care he gives my parents is more like family. I always recommend him to everyone, he's awesome!

This review is not on the physician, it is on the office staff and their lack of response to message sent through the patient portal. I was trying to get a prescription refilled. The pharmacy had contacted the office for approval and never received it. I sent four messages to the office using the patient portal and never received a response on any of them. This is not the first time this has happened. I would hope that some one would address this behavior and lack of caring by the office staff.

I could not be happier with Dr. Escamilla and his office staff. They are so courteous and sincerely so. Dr. Escamilla takes the time to go over any concerns you may have and you do not feel rushed to get you in and out.
