Dr. Espinel lacked compassion when visiting my elderly father in the hospital. He never told us what he was about to do when removing a tube from down the nose and throat of my dad. He literally jerked this tube out and never even apologized when my dad cried out in pain. This doctor should be terminated. He is a jerk!

Dr. Espinel is incredible. Not only has she taken great care of my health, but also she is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with an outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient! Wonderful experience with Carrollton Surgical Group. Dr. Espinel was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I chose the Carrollton Surgical Group and would highly recommend it to anyone.

The doctor and staff was so professional. This was one of the kindest visit I have received in my life. I am over 50 and have a 29 year old physically and mentally disabled son, so I have been to to doctor's a lot. Not to mention for over 30 years worked in the medical field. It has meant a lot in such a selfish unkind world to experienced such warm treatment for the entire staff! I pray that God repay you for you loving kindness.
