Home: Welcome

Dr. Esparaz is a gifted ophthalmologist. She has been caring for me for 2 years. She first saw me for a fairly urgent problem, and the office got me an appointment at 0800, 30 minutes after I called. I was totally impressed with the way she handled that acute issue. I now have to see her every 6 months. She is thorough, patient, technically sound, and has a great bedside manner. She answers all of my questions and doesn’t try to rush past me. I have nothing but good things to say about the office staff as well. Everyone is very efficient and cheerful. My eyes are in good hands. I could not be happier with Dr. Esperaz
