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. Esselink is FABULOUS! However, the new lab service is the absolute pits!!!

Dr. Esselink provided knowledgeable and effective expertise for my situation. She listened, followed up and provided necessary tests and referrals. I unequivocally recommend her (and have recommended her to several of my friends).

I have only had good experiences and I am so thankful for the care I have received from Dr Esselink and care team,just the other day I went in to f/u after going to the hospital because I almost fainted and was dizzy (I thought I may be trying to have a stroke) and this it had never happened before I received good care there and I did my follow up with my doctor that made me feel safe, calm and cared for!

She is an excellent provider and wonderful human being. It is a shame that the medical system is so over-burdened and bureaucratic.

Dr esselink is the best PCP I've ever had. I have literally no complaints. She understands my needs, takes plenty of time to listen, and really seems to know a lot about any issue I ever bring up. She's thorough and compassionate and I would recommend her without reservation

I appreciate how well Dr Esselink listens to me and I trust the recommendations, at-a-girls and honesty she shares w me. I'm glad my husband sees her too which enables her to doctor us well. The fact that she is trained as a geriatric doc benefits me as I age. She and the other clinicians I have seen there as well as staff have been kind and respectful.
