This Dr did not provide me with any new info about my RP. He had zero bedside manner. My apt was a waste of time and money. He was very difficult to understand language wise. He was over an hour late seeing me. My driver had to leave me and come back because the apt took to long. The entire staff did not show concern for my safety when I could barely see (displayed eyes) to walk safely and find the elevator. Was not a pleasant visit at all.

All the ladies in the office from the front desk to the ladies doing all of the different eye exams were so very cordial and sweet to me. They treated me with a lot of tenderness and respect especially them knowing what I had just been through. You have a great group of ladies working for your eye center and in your hospital. This note is for all the beautiful ladies that work in your hospital especially those ladies that looked after me during my ordeal with my eye; you are all so very compassionate, caring and such a talented group of ladies!! Thank you all so much for looking after me!!! What can I say about Dr. Espinosa. He was very nice to me and explained every aspect of my upcoming surgery so that I would feel at ease. He addressed any issues and concerns that I might have. I'll say this for him he is all business when it comes to the task at hand. He is a very talented and skilled surgeon. Thank you doc for giving me my eye sight back!!!

September 26, 2025

Yeah, the experience was great except for the long wait time. My appointment was for around 10, 15, and I really didn't get in to see the doctor till 12. Just try to improve on the wait time. I'd appreciate it. Bye.

September 26, 2025

My visit was very nice. Everyone was very professional and courteous. My Dr. is very through and gives me the best care. I highly recommend him to others for the great eye care that I always receive.

September 24, 2025

I cannot always understand everything that he says

September 24, 2025

I've been going to the eye doctor for about two and a half years, and this last visit was probably the best visit I ever had. Even after leaving there and receiving a thank you for my $40 copay and a statement balance within an hour after I left the doctor's office was absolutely amazing. They've had billing problems in the past, I know, and I'm very impressed. Everything was great. Best doctor's visit I've had in two and a half years.

September 24, 2025

Overall, this visit was good. Normally this clinic visit takes hours. It was disappointing that I was not able to schedule for a year as recommended, but six months instead. My condition is stable, so I normally only have to come once per year.

September 26, 2025

The brightness of the lighting in the opthamology offices is too high. Lighting should be dimmer.

My experience today was long, my appt. was at 10 am, I arrived at the office at 945. Only to find the entire front waiting run filled with people waiting to be checked in. So I finally got checked in a little after 10 to be sent to the second waiting area no waiting time from there. Called to to back to be worked up and get some pictures taken of my eye and an ultrasound of my eye. Long story short my appt was at 10 am I didn't get finish with my appt until 2 pm. I'm not sure why it takes the dr that long, but I will not be returning to see him ever. I'll never recommend ANYBODY to see him. EVERYTIME I see him the appt is long and drawn out. I live 2 hours away and certainly didn't expect to spend that long at my appt. Very upsetting

September 13, 2025

5

Everything went real well and I was very appreciative of the help that I got with all the nurses as well as the doctor. Have a good day. Bye-bye.

September 13, 2025

I had to wait exactly an hour before I was seen by the doctor an hour that is after my appointment was scheduled. Also, there were bugs in the waiting area.

September 13, 2025

All personal that helped me was very good at what their work was.

September 10, 2025

I was there for at least 2 hours before being seen!! It was cold

Need handicap parking for High top vans. Also need to ticket small Vechiles & regular size truck parking in handicap spaces. Took us 20 minutes & help to get parked. Then had to walk with wheelchair all the way through building across street up the second floor and cross over street to building with Eye Clinic . Another 12 minutes to walk to Clinic after parking.

He ensures you understand any issues and is patient with you.

September 10, 2025

The staff is extremely helpful. However, the doctor needs another doctor in there. There's too many patients and they're overbooked. The wait time is too much. Goodbye.

September 10, 2025

The time it took to receive my shot in my eye which I have done every three months was timely and well organized.To me,more so than in the past.

September 8, 2025

Three hours is too long for disabled people to be there waiting on treatment.

September 8, 2025

Every single person I had contact with, was professional, but also attentive and friendly.I was in and out in a timely fashion.

September 6, 2025

The wait is too long and the nurse mixed up my husband for me and didn't look at his visitors pass almost prepared him for the eye shot.

Dr Espinosa is an excellent physician, but he needs another doctor to help with the case load! It is not right for him nor for us his patients! Having to wait four hours to see a doctor is unacceptable! Please fix this problem!

August 28, 2025

Thank you

August 28, 2025

He needs some help. My appointment was at 10:00; I didn't leave until 3:30 pm. That's too long.

August 28, 2025

5

The appointments always take too long. I was there for over 2 1/2 hours.

August 28, 2025

5

Never had a bad experience with Dr. Espinosa. Love him

August 27, 2025

5

The wait time was too long. My appointment was at 9:30 and when I left out the clinic to was 12:07.

August 27, 2025

5

The waiting area is always crowded and if you have someone with assisted devices it's difficult for them to get around in the waiting area. I think Dr. Espinosa is still the only provider offering this service which means your wait is always long. Some of the staff act like this is just a job. They do their job and nothing extra, no smile, no friendly conversation, no nothing.

August 24, 2025

5

Dr. Espinosa is a wonderful physician. I have a problem with billing since I am a recent member of the Medicare program. And but again, Dr. Espinosa is an excellent, I trust all his advice. Thank you.

August 30, 2025

Do something about the long waiting period. Three hours waiting????? Get hungry

They treated me with a lot of tenderness and respect especially them knowing what I had just been through. You have a great group of ladies working for your eye center and in your hospital. This note is for all the beautiful ladies that work in your hospital especially those ladies that looked after me during my ordeal with my eye; you are all so very compassionate, caring and such a talented group of ladies!! Thank you all so much for looking after me!!! What can I say about Dr. Espinosa. He was very nice to me and explained every aspect of my upcoming surgery so that I would feel at ease. He addressed any issues and concerns that I might have. I'll say this for him he is all business when it comes to the task at hand. He is a very talented and skilled surgeon. Thank you doc for giving me my eye sight back!!!

My visit was very nice. Everyone was very professional and courteous. My Dr. is very through and gives me the best care. I highly recommend him to others for the great eye care that I always receive.

I've been going to the eye doctor for about two and a half years, and this last visit was probably the best visit I ever had. Even after leaving there and receiving a thank you for my $40 copay and a statement balance within an hour after I left the doctor's office was absolutely amazing. They've had billing problems in the past, I know, and I'm very impressed. Everything was great. Best doctor's visit I've had in two and a half years.

The brightness of the lighting in the opthamology offices is too high. Lighting should be dimmer.

My experience today was long, my appt. was at 10 am, I arrived at the office at 945. Only to find the entire front waiting run filled with people waiting to be checked in. So I finally got checked in a little after 10 to be sent to the second waiting area no waiting time from there. Called to to back to be worked up and get some pictures taken of my eye and an ultrasound of my eye. Long story short my appt was at 10 am I didn't get finish with my appt until 2 pm. I'm not sure why it takes the dr that long, but I will not be returning to see him ever. I'll never recommend ANYBODY to see him. EVERYTIME I see him the appt is long and drawn out. I live 2 hours away and certainly didn't expect to spend that long at my appt. Very upsetting

I had to wait exactly an hour before I was seen by the doctor an hour that is after my appointment was scheduled. Also, there were bugs in the waiting area.

Need handicap parking for High top vans. Also need to ticket small Vechiles & regular size truck parking in handicap spaces. Took us 20 minutes & help to get parked. Then had to walk with wheelchair all the way through building across street up the second floor and cross over street to building with Eye Clinic . Another 12 minutes to walk to Clinic after parking.

The staff is extremely helpful. However, the doctor needs another doctor in there. There's too many patients and they're overbooked. The wait time is too much. Goodbye.

The time it took to receive my shot in my eye which I have done every three months was timely and well organized.To me,more so than in the past.

Dr. Espinosa is a wonderful physician. I have a problem with billing since I am a recent member of the Medicare program. And but again, Dr. Espinosa is an excellent, I trust all his advice. Thank you.

Dr Espinosa is an excellent physician, but he needs another doctor to help with the case load! It is not right for him nor for us his patients! Having to wait four hours to see a doctor is unacceptable! Please fix this problem!

I'm thankful for all the folks at the Eye Care Center. They have restored my vision twice after loosing it.

The waiting area is always crowded and if you have someone with assisted devices it's difficult for them to get around in the waiting area. I think Dr. Espinosa is still the only provider offering this service which means your wait is always long. Some of the staff act like this is just a job. They do their job and nothing extra, no smile, no friendly conversation, no nothing.

Overall, this visit was good. Normally this clinic visit takes hours. It was disappointing that I was not able to schedule for a year as recommended, but six months instead. My condition is stable, so I normally only have to come once per year.

This Dr did not provide me with any new info about my RP. He had zero bedside manner. My apt was a waste of time and money. He was very difficult to understand language wise. He was over an hour late seeing me. My driver had to leave me and come back because the apt took to long. The entire staff did not show concern for my safety when I could barely see (displayed eyes) to walk safely and find the elevator. Was not a pleasant visit at all.

September 26, 2025

Yeah, the experience was great except for the long wait time. My appointment was for around 10, 15, and I really didn't get in to see the doctor till 12. Just try to improve on the wait time. I'd appreciate it. Bye.
