    During the visit, I felt like Dr. Essman was in a rush. Or he was the one who knew about the pain. He did not explain some of the medical terms. I left very disappointed. I did let him know that PT was not helping me, but he still put a referral in.

    Highly recommend. This was my initial consultation with him. My impression is that he is a very caring medical professional, which is a rare find today. Great manner. He takes all of the time that you need to ask and answer your questions.
