Dr. Stephen Esses, MD

My name is Maricela González de Álamo Tx.. on August 3 Dr. Esses did a surgery on my spine.. here in McAllen they didn't want to take care of me.My pain was very strong.. they gave me an injection. They sent me to therapy and it didn't work, my pain was so strong that it prevented me from doing my daily activities, such as walking, sitting down and I decided to look for myself without any reference a Dr. In Houston, I had always heard that the best doctors were there. I started looking and I found Dr. Sthepen Esses and I read that he was an excellent I spoke and they told me that I didn't need a reference, they gave me an appointment the following week, and in two weeks he did the surgery... it was very painful because I had to travel from Houston to McAllen Tx. 2 weeks passed, I returned to my first date and I didn't feel any improvement... a month passed, another month and I felt the same, I felt a lot of pain, He told me that it was a long process and that I had to wait. I felt my legs numb. I heard that therapeutic yoga was excellent exercises. I started my exercises and started taking vitamins B6, B1 and B12. Thank God and Dr. Esses at 4 and a half months old and I don't feel anymore my legs numbs, and my pain is almost or less than 20%. I continue with my yoga and chair exercises. Iam feeling very good. THANK YOU DR. STEPHENS ESSES AND HIS STAFF. I ALREADY RECOMMENDED IT TO TWO PEOPLE. 100% RECOMMENDED. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND DEDICATED.

Great doctor very knowledgeable. Very professional. Nice staff and office associates. Very responsive and professional. Easy to schedule an appointment. Very helpful team. The best I ever dealt with

Dr. Esses has provided me with very good care. He is knowledgeable and very attentive to my issues.

Excellent service! The office runs like a well oiled machine. Follow up calls are quick, caring and professional. Check ins are done well, safely and very swiftly. Dr. E is kind and knowledgeable. He made me feel very comfortable in my painful time of need. I have several health challenges and this doctor and his office staff has renewed my confidence in the medical profession. I have been frustratingly amazed at how poorly many medical offices operate. As my care continues with Dr. E, I feel Blessed to have him as my spinal health overseer.

Dr. Esses has provided me with very good care. He is knowledgeable and very attentive to my issues. His phone answering staff is HORRIBLE. They are rude, disrespectful, do not return phone calls and cannot follow-up with confirming appointment or insurance claims. I have called his office four times to set up my physical therapy appointments. When I finally spoke to someone, they gave me two numbers and I had to set up my own appointments.

They had actually read my medical history. They understood my test results and explained them to me in a way I could understand them. And I felt like they listened to me and heard me and cared about me.

Very happy as always.

It was easy, short wait

Dr Esses was very helpful and complete in his explanation of my condition and options. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great

Dr. Esses was highly recommended by a family member. He is very friendly and down to Earth making the visit a more relaxing experience. His staff is also very nice and helpful.

Excellent

I feel beyond the doctor asking the timeline of my situation he did not go in depth about his prognosis. He did not get the info of how the injury has affected me, only to know the injury exists. He asked me to do 3 movements and determined it wasn't nerve related I guess. But I still have physical pain at times so what do you see for me longterm? Does this get better? Basically just a wait and see approach but no expertise I can use.

Went very well

I am a first time patient and was able to see Dr. Esses with little to no wait time. Dr. Esses worked quickly, but thoroughly in getting to the bottom of my problem. He seemed very knowledgeable and was open to addressing my concerns.

I love this doctor and all of his staff. they know there stuff and they are good at what they do. I give them a hundred stars.

Waiting time was quick. Dr. Esses was nice and thorough.

I have been able to visit 2 of his locations and both times I was in and out.

I needed to consult with Dr Esses since I had some pinched nerves and wanted to rule out scar tissue from the previous tailbone removal surgery I had with him 11 years ago. He was very attentive and gave me his valuable opinion. I trust him and think he's an expert in his field.

Dr Esses did surgery on my back a few years ago; last week and continuing forward I have had sharp pains in my left leg. He checked out my back and did xrays to try to find the source of my pain. He had pulled my previous file and was ready to answer any of my questions. I feel very confident in his abilities.
