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.

Impatient, Poor Bedside Manner
Dr. Espinoza was distracted during my visit with him as evidenced by speaking very fast, looking around the room, squinting and rolling his eyes, and in an all around rush. He raised his voice at one point at which time I left. Possibly he was going through some personal issues, but that is really not my concern as his patient. I have found another primary care physician who is much better suited to my needs.

Disappointed Patient – Jan 07, 2025

Great to find an experienced personal doctor
Felt immediately comfortable discussing all health issues. Confidently related case experiences/recommendations to my conditions. Provided encouraging and motivating direction to improve my deficiencies. Reviewed my history and collaboratively suggested reasonable recommendations to achieve optimal weight & blood chemistries. It was refreshing to talk on a personal level.

Just say no!
Horrible. Annual visit. This was my 3rd visit and done.computer or those inputting had incorrect prescriptions listed and others left out. Had to argue for renewal of meds I’ve taken for years. Rushed, doesn’t listen, gaslighted me. I’m a complicated patient who has bizarre reactions and side effects from drugs. A doctor has to listen to me. Yesterday he could only talk about taking statins as he did previously. I can’t take them. He rushed out before I got to ask about my health issues. He never asked.

Great provider
Dr. Espinoza has a natural way to ease the patient's concern. The emphatic, kind and knowledgeable approach he gives to a person who is his patient is so important to have in a caregiver. I trust his suggestions, and know I can ask questions and get answers, choices.

Wonderful primary care provider!
Dr. Espinoza, now located in Nampa, Idaho, is a gem and I adore him. As a 37 year, now retired, nurse, I have worked with many doctors, both in giving and receiving patient care. Dr. Espinoza really listens, accepts my care ideas, yet we are able to carry on a good, two way discussion should he feel I'm needing further information and education in some areas. Very encouraging to find a provider who truly listens!

I've been a patient for two years now. Dr. Espinoza is by far the best physician I have ever had. He is very patient. He is truly interested in your well being and will educate you on the matters being discussed. He will hear you out and give you all the time you need to ask all the questions you have. I really cannot say enough about this man. I always walk out feeling I'm in good hands. I highly recommend him.
