She is absolutely, the Best Doctor I've Ever had. And at 68 years young I've Seen a lot of doctors.

She is superb and well respected by specialists to whom she referred me to see.

Love Dr. Esselink, she listens and doesn't demand or pressure me on taking anything I am not comfortable. She is the first and only doctor I am not afraid of talking to. Other past doctors I don't talk much. I am hoping she will stay with Providence in Portland until she retires. I will keep on going to see her and if she leaves then I will follow her but has to be in Portland area.

The worst part is it takes a long time to get an appointment with my actual provider. Seeing PA or other is not same as actually seeing Dr. Esselink. Also, phone wait time is lengthy when calling in. As far as Dr. Esselink specifically, she is a great doctor.

I wish I could see my provider when needed instead of going to urgent care who don't know me as well. I also prefer a woman for my care but urgent care was a man. I refer many people to Dr. Esselink and she can not always take new patients. But I will continue to refer people anyway.
