I am so grateful to have Dr. Esselink as my provider, because she treats me as a real person and answers my questions fully. She is also responsive to MyChart messages and gives me good advice.

Dr. Esselink has been my doctor for about 15 years, and I have never been happier with a provider. She listens to my concerns, answers questions, and treats me like a human being; not just a patient. I moved two hours away, and still drive to Portland to see Dr. Esselink because I have never found a provider that meets my needs like she does. She is, quite literally, the best.
