Dr. Roger Espinosa, MD

Struggles with listening and delegating... interrupted my questions several times even after I clearly stated the question. He still tried to answer questions I didn't have. Made harmful assumptions about the patient. Seems incapable of answering questions directly which is clearly a person compensating for something not advantageous to a physician. Dr. Espinosa's team of nurses and staff are exemplary. Dr. Espinosa however, struggles with sharing vital information from exams and conversations with his team. I can't speak to what may be the reason for so many executive functioning misses on his part but in my last three exchanges with him he has forgotten, misunderstood, failed to follow explicit requests or instructions and shrugs all off with "I'm not sure what happened..." which shows zero accountability or regard for care. He should take a nurse to each appointment to note his assurances and offers of help or intercession to avoid future issues or worse. Lynn, Lexi (sp?) are gems in a sea of ineptitude.

Very informative in explaining your heart problems. After a scan of my heart, his office called first thing the next morning and told me I needed to get there immediately, I had afib and was prime for a stroke, they may have saved my life. The Doctor and staff are excellent. I have been seeing him for a few years and highly recommend him.

My insurance paid thousands, but that's not enough, I get a bill for $250 on top of what my insurance paid, I'll never see this gouger again.

Does UH know about the doctor you recommended, not connecting the heart to the defibrillator?

Tendency to prescribe the same ?? to all with a one size fits all cookie cutter approach. Does not like questions about why do I have to take this or c oncerned about side effects.

Dr. Espinosa has been my heart doctor for several years now. He explains things to me very well, and after my visits I have a full understanding of my status.

Misdiagnosed my husband saying he had 3 blockages in his heart, when there were none. Falsified records so it said he didn't want heart surgery, when my husband never said anything of the kind. Quack!

Had a heart cath done Said ever thing was ok ,Week later wanted me to have a stress test done ,after test he said I needed a heart cath again to put in stint. Went to clinic they said I did not need this done.He told me many thing that was just not true.Would not recommend this doctor

The wait time is excessive. He doesn't listen to your concerns and becomes insulted if you disagree with something he's advocating or prescribing.
