Patient Reviews
Nov 16, 2023
That’s how he treats his patients. He told me. My primary care Dr. Called me. He was concerned about lung cancer. Dr Espeleta did nothing to expedite a follow up CT or get results from my breathing test. I went 6 days without inhaler, waiting for him to call the pharmacy. But, all his patients get treated the same. That’s what he told me.
