Excellent service! The office runs like a well oiled machine. Follow up calls are quick, caring and professional. Check ins are done well, safely and very swiftly. Dr. E is kind and knowledgeable. He made me feel very comfortable in my painful time of need. I have several health challenges and this doctor and his office staff has renewed my confidence in the medical profession. I have been frustratingly amazed at how poorly many medical offices operate. As my care continues with Dr. E, I feel Blessed to have him as my spinal health overseer.

Dr. Esses has provided me with very good care. He is knowledgeable and very attentive to my issues. His phone answering staff is HORRIBLE. They are rude, disrespectful, do not return phone calls and cannot follow-up with confirming appointment or insurance claims. I have called his office four times to set up my physical therapy appointments. When I finally spoke to someone, they gave me two numbers and I had to set up my own appointments.

They had actually read my medical history. They understood my test results and explained them to me in a way I could understand them. And I felt like they listened to me and heard me and cared about me.

I feel beyond the doctor asking the timeline of my situation he did not go in depth about his prognosis. He did not get the info of how the injury has affected me, only to know the injury exists. He asked me to do 3 movements and determined it wasn't nerve related I guess. But I still have physical pain at times so what do you see for me longterm? Does this get better? Basically just a wait and see approach but no expertise I can use.

I am a first time patient and was able to see Dr. Esses with little to no wait time. Dr. Esses worked quickly, but thoroughly in getting to the bottom of my problem. He seemed very knowledgeable and was open to addressing my concerns.

I needed to consult with Dr Esses since I had some pinched nerves and wanted to rule out scar tissue from the previous tailbone removal surgery I had with him 11 years ago. He was very attentive and gave me his valuable opinion. I trust him and think he's an expert in his field.

Dr Esses did surgery on my back a few years ago; last week and continuing forward I have had sharp pains in my left leg. He checked out my back and did xrays to try to find the source of my pain. He had pulled my previous file and was ready to answer any of my questions. I feel very confident in his abilities.
