Dr Esham took the time to go over concerns and I never felt like she was rushed.
Jul 24, 2023
I would recommend but not Kristina Esham, she didn't give me any help for what to do for my sick baby and just told me that he would be fussy for a little bit. I expressed that he had been teething and asked if there was anything else I could do to alleviate his pain and she didn't seem concerned or interested.

Dr Esham has been my kids' doc for years. I appreciate her level-headed and laid back approach to their care, choosing the moments to focus and the moments to reassure. She is a great partner in care, respecting my input and listening, then helping make informed decisions with gentleness. She is skilled at shared decision-making. I appreciate her insight, experience and wisdom as well as her kindness.

Jun 24, 2022
We love Dr. Esham! She is kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We have some unique challenges with our health care and Dr. Esham always goes above and beyond to make sure our needs are taken care of. Sometimes there is a short wait to see her, but it never bothers me because I know she's giving someone else the same level of time and care she gives us for our appointments.

May 16, 2022
This was our first visit with Dr. Esham and I was extremely impressed with her. I felt like she thouroghly answered my questions and took my concerns seriously. I'm extremely glad we were able to be seen by her after Dr. has left. It made what could have been a very stressful situation a much easier transition.

Dr. Esham immediately knew what the problem was an the right solution. I wish we had seen her a month ago. A different doctor gave us a very different answer about the same issue, and my daughter's condition just got worse.
