We were her patients in her Bayport office & were completely heartbroken when the office closed. My neighbor was doing lots of research to find her & by chance she did! We are so blessed to have Dr. Escobar, her bedside manner is second to none, diagnosis is always accurate & she gives you all the time you need when examining you!
