IF YOU DARE TO SAY ONE MORE BAD THING TO MY MOM! I AM GOING TO BE SO ANGRY!! My mom Deborah Esteves treats her patients with much respect! She does an amazing job at her work! I barely get to see my mom! I recommend her as the best out there. She is a strong and kind woman who will do her everything to help you an any way any way she can! So, if you abuse her like telling her to give you THE WRONG MEDICINE that could cause pain or bad side affects to your own health, she would obviously say this wouldn't be the right medicine for you. AND YET YOU STILL DENY HER AND GIVE A ONE STAR REVIEW JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET THE MEDICINE YOU DIDN'T NEED, BUT YOU WANTED IT. SHE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT YOU, SO YOU CAN STAY HEALTHY AND NOT GET HARMED BY POWERFUL SIDE AFFECTS! SHE COMMITS HER LIFE AND EVERY BEING TO HER JOB, SO SHE COULD GO THROUGH THE SAME PAIN OF HORRIBLE PATIENTS INSTEAD OF GETTING TO SEE HER SONS AND HUSBAND!!! Please go to HER for HELP since she is the best physician out there… and the best mom! Please help her in times of need, don't be RUDE and be aware of what you are doing. Make her fell good about herself, make her feel it's worth her time to help you than to see her sons and husband... Thank you. -Sebastián Emil Esteves

My experience with Dr. Esteves started out great; I thought I had FINALLY found the right doctor to replace my previous physician, who unfortunately for his patients, advanced in his career. Since my initial interaction with Dr. Esteves, however, I have found her to be unresponsive, insensitive to her patient's needs, and detrimental to my health. My disappointment in the quality of service that she provides is paramount in my decision to find another doctor.

Worst experience ever with an appointment and with a Doctor. Had an appointment with Dr. Deborah Esteves at 4:10pm, I arrived at 4:19pm and was turned away by her MA Joana Abalos saying that Dr. Esteves waited on me until 4:10pm but since I was late she already left. It is Kaiser policy to give all patients 15 mins before and after their appointment time. This Doctor did not follow policy and by the looks of all the other reviews it looks like this Doctor shouldn't be a Doctor at all. Do not support this Doctor, she really doesn't care about her patients at all.

Absolutely one of the most arrogant and unreasonable doctors I've ever dealt with. Her dismissive attitude "my way, or the highway" is not at all what any patient needs in a dr! I left the dr appt in tears! She was not willing to listen to me or help me in any way. I will never go to her again!

Horrible doctor, don’t waste time with her. She’s rude, and doesn’t give patients time of day.
