Barbara J. S. Esselink, MD

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,!!

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

I was very happy with the care I received

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

She's great.

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.

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.
