My first visit was very thorough and he seemed nice enough. However, he did a bunch of procedures that my insurance didn't cover and left me with a massive medical bill for stuff that really didn't help me. My 2nd visit was to get an opinion on whether neck/spine surgery would be advised & help my pain. He put zero thought into saying yes and had nothing else to add. I wasn't happy at such a nonchalant answer concerning such a MAJOR surgery, especially for someone in their early 40's. I still decided to do a consult w/ the recommended surgeon, which the front desk arranged, but I never got a call from ANYONE EVER again about anything. I would not recommend this Dr., especially if you have a tricky pain/health condition and/or autoimmune disease. He put zero thought into sending me off to surgery w/no real explanation or assurance and I'm honestly relieved that his office ended up dropping the ball further so that it never happened. Note: this experience was in 2018/2019.

We brought my Dad in for a neurological examination. Dr Esparza spent a significant amount of time with the family and provided detailed information and a course of treatment.

I recently had my first visit after a referral from my GP. The doctor was knowledgeable and helped explain a recent MRI analysis I couldn't understand on my own. He also explained the causes and potential treatment for my essential tremors condition.

My husband has dementia. We were looking for a neurologist experienced in dementia that would take time to answer all our questions about testing, etc. Dr. Esparza took time to answer all our questions and thoroughly explain his answers. We would recommend Dr. Esparza to anyone who is looking for a good neurologist experienced in dementia.

I see Dr Esparza for migraines and multiple sclerosis. He is extremely knowledgeable in both conditions. I've never had more than a 10 minute wait and I never feel rushed. When we discuss my condition and I can't process what he is saying (because of my MS) he pulls up his computer to explain it so I completely understand. I would recommend Dr Esparza to anyone needing real answers to medical conditions.

I have been an RN for over 24 years. My son has CP and epilepsy since birth so we have been to many neurologists (especially since I was a travel nurse). Dr. Esparza was very thorough and his goal is to get my son to his best ability he spoke about exercise (I have been trying for years) and plans for his future either with school or work progressing. I am very impressed with his comprehensive caring and knowledge base!

Throughout our experience with a family member's Traumatic Brain Injury, Dr. Esparza has been forthcoming and professional; explaining in detail what was happening, what we may expect and how to best deal with a situation that was extremely difficult to face. His compassion touched my heart.
