The Espinosa Neuroscience Institute - Dr. Patricio Espinosa MD MPH FAAN

Dr. Espinosa was nice, and Dr. Zach Ramilevich was great he took his time and helped find the right treatment. His staff was incredibly unreliable and unresponsive to calls. Staff hangs up calls, or no call backs even when regarding to medications, follow ups, scans or lab orders. About a year ago lab work was supposedly sent to the lab and over a week later nothing was sent, called repeatedly and got a run around with no one being able to answer except saying they’ll leave a message at their new call center. Dr. Zach apologized for the lack of communication from his staff during the transition of their new call center but their staff is unreliable as fair as following up with patient care. It’s been over a month and I am still not able to schedule an appointment again since I am told to leave a message. Overall, the doctors are great. Call center staff is terrible and unorganized. Everyone else is great.

TEN STARS I was in the hospital after a bad cold for 4 weeks and then my legs stopped working. Then my arms stopped working. After 2 weeks I was being discharged with the diagnose of a pinched nerve and I was to be an out patient in a wheelchair. My nurse heard this and she saw Dr. Espinosa ( former head of neurology at the hospital) doing his patient visits and asked him to see me. He came into my room in front of four residents and diagnosed me as having Guillain Barre Syndrome. He told the residents that I was now his patient. (My lucky day!) He ordered infusions (IVIG) and my recovery was on it's way. I am forever grateful for my nurse to seeking help for me. Dr. Espinosa could have declined looking at me during his rounds, I am sure he is a very busy doctor but he came and saved me from further damage to my nerves and gave me hope that I would walk again. Since then he and Dr. Bayas have taken care of me. He was also able to treat my peripheral neuropathy. I did rehab and I walk again, use my arms again, back to normal. I am forever grateful to Dr. Espinosa for his talent, compassion, patience and genuinely caring for me. His office staff is fantastic.
