Barbara J. S. Esselink, MD

I couldn't be happier with Dr. Esselink! She spends a lot of time with me. She really knows me!

I always feel comfortable!

She is a fantastic physician, knowledgeable, empathetic and kind.

I always have a good experience at At Providence hospital clinics always everybody's always so helpful so respectful they explain everything so I understand what they're saying in layman terms. My doctor is always explaining doing test ordering stuff for me exams and different test nose, ear throat urine test blood test she's always ordering stuff. She always listens to me. She always explains things to me so that I understand. She goes the extra mile for me as well as a receptionist. They're so nice so kind so helpful so respectful everybody, At Providence Clinic, and the hospital as a whole are wonderful especially Barbara Ashley. She is a very good doctor and I feel like I'm lucky to have such a wonderful doctor somebody who actually cares and shows that she cares somebody who actually listens and explains everything so that you understand and make sure that you understand and I think that Providence is like you to have her and should try hard to keep her.

Only good

It seems as though Dr Esselink knows my medical history sty. She's always prepared and ready with a well thought out response or treatment plan for my various medical concerns as they directly relate to my needs. I sincerely feel cared for. I feel as though am in the most excellent hands possible (which is very comforting) as the things of aging come up. She's both knowledgeable and attentive. I feel heard and seen for who I am as an indivdual.

Very useful & understanding

Dr. Esselink always does a great job. Appreciate her care and support.

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.

Very good experience, professional doctor and team,listening to my concerns, knowing my health problems pretty well,taking good care and explaining everything to be easy to understand, 100 percent happy with my experience seeing my doctor.

I wish she had room to take on my spouse as a patient. She's fantastic!

Best Dr ever have very good experience at this Dr office even with the parking attendant whom is awesome.

Dr. E, is a wonderful doctor. She is kind, courteous and above all she listens to her patients. In our family we say she is the true doctor house meaning she doesn't stop until she figures out what the problem is and gets to the bottom of it solving it for the patient and making the patient as comfortable as possible while doing so. Even the most complex cases.

Aways good--she always makes me feel positive and never condescending.

I've been an by Dr Esselink and her team for many years. They are ALL very knowledgeable, polite, and offer the kindest care. I so appreciate them all.If there is a Daisy award for outpatient care, I would nominate Dr Esselink a thousand times!

She is a solid gold star, all around

I have only had good experiences and I am so thankful for the care I have received from Dr Esselink and care team,just the other day I went in to f/u after going to the hospital because I almost fainted and was dizzy (I thought I may be trying to have a stroke) and this it had never happened before I received good care there and I did my follow up with my doctor that made me feel safe, calm and cared for!

Dr. Barbara Esselink, is the Best Doctor on the Planet Earth; I could never imagine having another Doctor.We Love her so much!!!!!

I appreciate how well Dr Esselink listens to me and I trust the recommendations, at-a-girls and honesty she shares w me. I'm glad my husband sees her too which enables her to doctor us well. The fact that she is trained as a geriatric doc benefits me as I age. She and the other clinicians I have seen there as well as staff have been kind and respectful.

Dr. Esselink is an amazing Doctor. I hope that I never have to change doctors. She is so knowledgeable, compassionate and kind.

Excellent attention to my needs

Dr Esselink was excellent. I finally felt heard. She didn't make excuses for symptoms. She talked to me like I mattered. This was my first visit with her for establishing care. I felt VERY comfortable. I hope she never leaves. Dr. Esselink YOU ARE THE BEST!!! AWESOME

Dr Esselink has been our primary care Dr. For many years. When we see her she is very engaged with our questions and concerns. She often asks for clarifying. Information for purposes of diagnosing our issue. When we leave her office , we know that she completely understands our concerns and has a clear plan as to how are issues will be addressed. She speaks regular people language and does not overwhelm us with information.We do not understand. We consider her family and she knows us well. We both trust her with all of our care! We highly.Recommend her to everyone and anyone!

All is good,!!

I was very happy with the care I received

Very friendly and kind office staff. Dr. Esselink listens and set a plan in place for me. She is a fabulous care provider

Appreciate all the help they gave me and they were very helpful. But I'm still going through the moment of being evicted.

This care provider had never seen before this appointment. She treated me with respect and listened carefully as I explained my concerns. She gave me good explanation about the "pouch" on the left side of my left knee cap. I had another problem that I hadn't mentioned when I made the appointment. She graciously explained the problem and offered helpful advise. I would not be hesitant to have her as one of my care providers again.

Dr Esselink is amazingly aware of who I am, my current situation, my personal and medical histories and concerns. She creates a warm, accepting, non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable discussing any health/life concern I might have. I like her and feel I can really trust her.

Very good

From checking in to the visit with Doctor and checking out felt very comfortable Professional with Kindness and a great sense of caring! Great teamwork!!!!

She's great.

Dr. Esselink is the best dr I have had in my 80 years of life. Her compassion, demeanor and personality are outstanding. She should be held up as an role model for other doctors. I always know she will have the knowledge to take care of me.

Dr. Esselink met me 2 days after I went to the ER. Her manner was both warm and supportive. I felt heard, which made it easy to share my history and concerns. There was never any doubt that I was in good hands.
