Dr. Esbensen has always been so concerned and well informed to help me with every issue I have. He is sincere and takes time to listen. He knows what he's doing and explains well even when I need extra explanation.

Dr. Esbensen (Doc E) was the best doc we ever had. He took the time to make sure each of his patients received the kind of personal care that all patients deserve. He was knowledgeable, forthright, and empathetic. While corporate health care has tainted the system with profits over patients, Doc. E made sure that his patients came first. His abrupt departure has saddened many of us. Hope he resurfaces again soon. The Grabows

I have been seen Dr. Esbensen for many years. His bedside manner is the best that I have ever experienced with a primary care physician. I never felt rushed to get out of his office and he has always taken the time to answer my questions and to deal with my concerns. He makes you feel like you are his only patient.

Never had a doctor who treated you with so much respect. I had him for 18 years, then 1 day, gone. The only doctor who really listened to the patient. With Dr.E , you were never just another patient. Always took the time for you.

I would not be here today if it was not for Dr E. He give a prompt diagnosis in an emergency visit situation not only one but twice. If it was not for his knowledge, concern, caring and just overall excellent skills I would not be here to write this!
