Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Extremely Pleased!
Dr. Escandon & her staff were all very very kind and courteous. Dr. Escandon took the time to listen to my concerns and explain causes certain excessive annoying behaviors and treatment plans. I must say I am extremely pleased with my visit and greatful to have found her!

No Compassion
I have been a patient at this practice for a few years. Today I was running late after an earlier Dr appointment with my elderly dad ran over. I called and explained the situation and was told not to keep the appointment because it would be past the fifteen minute window for late appointments. I understand the rules. I asked for compassion as I am sole caregiver for my elderly dad and I’ve had to have virtual appointments as a result. I was told no despite the courtesy call and was offered a September appointment. UNACCEPTABLE

Dissatisfied soon to be former patient – Apr 03, 2025

Very condescending and demeaning
She does not listen to your concerns and instead puts you down with her condescending attitude. If you question anything she says, she will give you a death stare and end your appointment. All she knows how to do is push medication. If you want to find the actual cause of your headaches, definitely see a different Dr.!

This doctor was very impatient and curt in dealing with my 86 year old mother. Seemed annoyed that she was even there. If you don’t like your job, leave! Sick people deserve better treatment.

I was very happy with the dr, the office and the staff. Dr took time to listen to my concerns and seem knowledgeable! I would give a 5 star for that part. Now one month later, i'm just super disappointed that medication that she prescribed has not been approved by insurance. I called multiple times the drs office without success. Not much point in going to the dr if I can't get the meds she prescribed ! Maybe they are working on it maybe they're not...i have no way to know and nobody's calling me back!!

Nice dr...no meds – Feb 24, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Escandon?
Was thorough in treatment, but not personable or friendly. I felt that she had the “I’m the Doctor you’re the patient” attitude. I had an issue that brought me to the emergency room and when they told me to follow up ASAP, she couldn’t see me for over a month. Don’t accept new patients if you can’t accommodate the ones you have. Switched to another practice that could better accommodate me as per scheduling.
