"I am a patient of Dr. Espinoza’s and recently had and endoscopy done. I could not be more impressed with how smooth the entire visit and procedure went. There is always nerves about being put under for a procedure but I was met with kind smiling faces and an easy check in process that helped to keep me calm. The anesthesia nurse and doctor were both very professional and kind and answered all my questions. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Espinoza, his bed side manner is top notch, he is incredibly smart while still down to Earth and speaks to me in a way that is easy to understand. The procedure was quick and easy and he explained everything thoroughly . When I woke up he was there a smile and his findings. He went over them in detail. I work in the medical field and rub shoulders with many gastroenterologists, and Dr. Espinoza is by far one of the greats! I have recommended him to all my friends and family and no one has ever had anything but compliments to share about the care he has provided!"
"I believe this is my 3rd time getting treatments with Dr. Espinosa, and he and his staff have always been very kind and professional. One thing that's important at least for myself is, a person might be nervous coming in for the first time like I was. To make him feel comfortable, and at ease. Even at the receptionist desk. to the scheduling desk. Everyone working together as one for one goal, to make the patients experience as pleasant as possible. Especially this last visit. It went very well for me. Thanks, to Dr. Espinosa and his staff."

"While getting a gastrointestinal study completed is both understood and intimidating, I was initially unsure about the protocol given my special condition as having epilepsy. Dr. Espinoza's team was especially sensitive to my concerns. Dr. Espinoza and the anesthesiologist explained carefully the procedures; the team took care to talk with me about 'me', it was in fact educational. Afterwards, care was taken to make certain I was comfortable, sure-footed, clear-minded, and informed about the results. Dr. Espinoza met with my wife and I for a discussion about the results, which were provided in a both a paper summary and the clinic's easily accessible website. Finally, and much appreciated, after arriving home I received a followup contact from the clinic, inquiring about my recovery from the anesthetic.

"I was referred to this practice by a friend. I was able to get an appointment in a timely manner. The office contacted me and did all the paperwork via the internet before the date of my procedure. The prep was ordered to a near by pharmacy. I was called the day before to go over the prep. The day of the procedure I did not have to wait to go in to the preop area. Everyone on staff was great. I met Dr. Espinoza that day and the procedure went well. Dr. Espinoza came to see me in recovery to explain what he found and the follow up. I was called by the office the next day to check on my status. I was informed of the results of the biopsy via an app which had been set up when I was given the appointment. I had a colonoscopy. Would definitely recommend this practice to anyone who needs this procedure."

Upon entering the office I was kindly greeted by the sweet lady at the front desk. As I waited in the waiting area to be called, I was extremely nervous and anxiety was kicking in with every passing minute. Finally, my turn was up as Lorraine, the nurse assigned to me calls my name. She takes me to the back and everyone involved was extremely patient and genuinely concerned of my needs. Immediately I felt a sense of comfort as Lorraine explained to me what would be happening next. I told her I was extremely fearful of needles but she was so gentle that pain was minimal. Thanks Lorraine you are amazing. Dr. Espinoza was very thorough in explaining the process of the procedure. He was kind and soft spoken. I knew then there was nothing to fear. His knowledge and expertise made the whole process worthwhile. I highly recommend Dr. Espinoza if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your needs."

The office is also amazing. So big and organized. I took a picture of their decorations. Will post if they will allow me too. I highly recommend Dr Espinoza."
"I recently had my colonoscopy with Dr. Alfredo Espinoza at Gastroenterology Consultants of SA, from beginning to end was handled in a completely professional and easygoing way.

Then, the anesthesiologist came by and explained exactly what he was going to do and made sure I understood what was going to happen. I was taken to the procedure room on time, had the procedure and woke up afterwards in the recovery room. The nurse assigned to me made sure I was awake and alert, and then Dr. Espinoza came by and told me about the procedure and how it had gone, assured me that I had no signs of any problems. I couldn't be more pleased with the great care I was given."

I am again having different colon issues and Dr Espinoza cares about my health. He tries the latest medication, he evaluates my progress, and continues to find the best treatment for my condition. My close friend was having difficulty and pain after swallowing. I recommended she go to Dr Espinoza and he performed diagnostic procedures. He found her Esophageal cancer.

"If I would have been allowed sufficient time in recovery, I would not have fallen in the floor. I had been trying to remember what led to my intense lower back pain. After contacting my primary care practitioner, he referred me to an imaging center to get X-rays of my pelvis and hip. After barely waking up from the procedure, a nurse/technician came in and laid my clothes at the foot of the bed and left. I got up and started getting dressed, but lost my balance and started falling backwards. When the nurse/technician came back in to investigate the noise, she helped me up, gave me my purse, held my arm and showed me to the door. Even though the last time I had this procedure was 13 years ago, I don’t remember being rushed but being allowed the time I needed to recover I appreciated the Anesthesiologist and Dr. Espinoza explaining the procedure to me and what to expect."
