Dr. Escobedo explains things in plain easy to understand language. Always very cordial and friendly as well as office staff. AAAA++++!!!! Thank you!
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!

The staff and doctors are great but your corporate micro management of their time is so very wrong. You hurdle us in like cattle and you take away the personal service from your staff to patients. You make is just a number not a patient that is under your care. It is not the staff or Doctors..it's The upper management. I never thought we would be treated this way. I love all my doctors ..they saved my life and my fathers. Take heart to this you will loose many patient this way. You already lost so much with data breaches. I have to pay a fortune to protect my credit due to two of your breaches.

January 29, 2025
Good afternoon, look, well my experience with the doctor was fine, but the only thing I'm not convinced about is because I told him to do some blood tests and he told me that they are no longer available and because I told him that they had always done them to me before, that sometimes now he told me no, that now it is every 9 months, but I think that since I am an older person it is true that I do not have other illnesses, but there are times when one feels bad and I would like to do the tests that they used to do on me before when Dr. (name removed) was here every six months then he would do them to me every six months and now he says every 9 months.
January 29, 2025
Dr. Escobedo was outstanding. I would highly recommend him.
