Very professional!
July 27, 2026
DR ANTONIO is absolutely amazing. Very satisfied with my experience.
July 24, 2026
Dr. Escobedo provides the utmost of care to his patients! With some complicated issues in my family, he listened with compassion and understanding. This led to adjustments in the course of my treatment, bloodwork, etc. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, yet compassionate, physician! He also has a fabulous smile, bringing a lot of joy into one's feelings!
July 22, 2026
I wholeheartedly trust Dr. Escobedo's expertise, advise, recommendation, treatment & overall care. He listens intently to my questions & concerns and never have I felt hurried with my time with him.
July 22, 2026
Great professional experience with a provider I trust
July 21, 2026
I am happy with this doctor who listens to my concerns and answers accordingly. I highly recommend him to family and friends
July 20, 2026
Thank you for courteous and caring staff who provide excellent patient care.
July 17, 2026
Dr Escobedo is excellent. He truly cares about my health. He has questions and listens and makes sound recommendations. His staff is also excellent.
July 14, 2026
Antonio was excellent. The staff that greeted me was excellent. I got there about 15 minutes early and they took me in within minutes. Every single thing about it was great EXCEPT........ booking the doctors appointment. I think I literally had to book this appointment six months in advance and I'm not exaggerating, that is absolutely ridiculous and frankly, that should be unacceptable. Ask any of the doctors or anybody that works there if they would like to have to wait six months for a booking for anything. That is totally unacceptable and you have to do something about that. I booked it probably back in February March maybe and had to wait all the way till July 14 and my visit with Dr. Antonio was maybe 15 minutes. Come on guys you gotta do better than that. Other than having to wait that long for a doctor visit, the rest of the service could not have been better. I hope that future appointment bookings with Antonio are not gonna be that long if they are, I'm gonna have to find somebody else which would be a shame cause I feel real comfortable with Antonio
July 13, 2026
Dr. Escobedo and his back office staff are wonderful. Front/main office staff not so great. One of the ladies had their information wrong regarding my appointment. I was told I was 6 min. late and the doctor was very busy and my appointment would be cut down. I would understand if I were late but was 14 min early to my appointment . When I told her there was a mix up and even showed her proof that I was indeed early she was dismissive still stating I was late and would have to talk to the back office but that my appointment will be cut short. If this were the first time that happened I would understand, but I've had issues in the past with the front office.
July 07, 2026
The alloted 15 minutes is not enough time to ask all my questions. I am 77 years old and have lots of things going on. I need much more time. I love Dr. Escobedo and my treatment at PIH, however I am seriously considering changing to Kaiser. I heard really good things about them from family and friends, and they spend enough time with their patients. Thank you.
July 06, 2026
I would like to say the doctor was very friendly, very clear, was concerned, attentive to my needs and what I needed done. So yes, I would recommend him to someone.

March 16, 2026
The doctor and the staff are excellent. PIH on the other hand you have a lot of issues that need to be addressed. Months ago, telephone hacked. Recently data with my personal information hacked. The parking charge at PIH is absurd for a person that has an appointment. The pre-check-in is fine, but the advertisements at the end are ridiculous.
March 13, 2026
The doctor provided excellent care, thank you so much!

January 05, 2026
I felt that he didn't review my chart and past tests that other providers had requested. I had to ask! However, I was late to my appointment and probably created stress for him and his schedule. But I did ask for a urinalysis because I felt I had a UTI over the holidays. He is doing a culture and will let me know the results!

Dr. Escobedo is an incredible Doctor, which is why I refuse to change my medical insurance. I enjoy meeting with him once a year, and sometimes throughout the year. He is extremely open minded, full of knowledge, and always very kind like he could be your own family member. A few people in my family also have Escobedo as their primary and also love working with him. A good Dr can be hard to come by, but this one is amazing!! Had a great visit with Escobedo, and even had a great conversation about my health journey/plan.

I enjoy my visits to Dr. Escobedo's office.
August 27, 2025
I had a list of concerns I wanted to talk to him about and even had it written down but he kind of blew it off and just touched my ankles and listened to my heart and lungs and that was it for the exam. Then it was apparent he had spent the amount of time he had allotted to my appointment, and we did not get to go over my concerns. His nurse still has the list if he would like to address any of the items on the list
August 25, 2025
The pre-check-in forms are a nuisance. You could keep it simple and ask if they're just any changes. I especially "HATE" your advertisements at the very end that makes it very, very unprofessional. Thank you.
August 25, 2025
Dr. Escobedo is a wonderful doctor!!! I am moving to Palm Springs on 9-1-25 and will continue to see him from way out there! He is such a wonder and caring individual! I am having difficulty with writing stuff on my calendar and keeping track of them but he listened and took action! I go for my CT scan this Saturday at noon!
