October 01, 2024
This was a good visit and it was a scheduled visit six months ago. I'm trying to get into another doctor's office and I'm having to wait four months. That's a long time. And you know, what do I do in the meantime? Thank you for asking. Bye.

August 19, 2024
He explains things so you can understand. He listens, doesn't just brush your concerns aside. Very nice
August 16, 2024
I think I may have pushed the wrong buttons for Dr. Escobedo. I was pressing 1111 for yes. I hope it's not no because I'm very, very, very pleased with him as my PCP. So I wanted to put yes on the first question. So I hope this is accurate and you can change it. Thank you. Very pleased with my doctor.
August 16, 2024
The provider was excellent, however, I think it is unfair that the physical is limited and for any other extra questions or comments that you have, they will charge you. That's what a physical is for.
August 14, 2024
Feel very comfortable,nice professional
August 14, 2024
Dr. Escobedo, the way he treated me and listened to me, I didn't feel stigmatized, especially if I'm going in for, you know, HIV prevention, HIV prep work. And I just felt like I could trust him. He listened and he really restored, in some ways, my faith in being able to talk to the doctor about what's actually going on and getting the services I need. I had a moment when I joined PIH where, due to miscommunication, it took about a month to get an accurate diagnosis, which complicated a few things. Luckily, nothing major happened, but Dr. Escobedo's treatment in the last session was amazing. It really did make me feel like I could go to PIH and get the services I need to stay healthy. So I really appreciate it. Thank you.
August 14, 2024
Dr. Escobedo is an excellent doctor! He answers questions thoroughly and explains in understandable language. I appreciate him always being on time, he should be recognized as so far the ONLY doctor at PIH who sees you at the exact appointment time.

Doctor review and explanation was on tagget. The nurse that did the bandage removal and re bandage need to more training, did not apply non stick covering to the wounds but applied gauze directly to the wounds . The next day I soaked sticking gauze bandages on the wounds and put non stick pad over wound all is ok today

Dr Escobedo Is top notch
July 10, 2024
I did have difficulty getting the names and understanding names of the dermatologist that the doctor said would be good to see. So I will probably have to go online to my PIH Health and leave him a message because I don't remember and I didn't really understand the last name of the dermatologist.
July 10, 2024
Best doctor I've had

Dr. Escobedo is the best! I appreciate his knowledge and how he listens to my concerns.
June 18, 2024
I believe that the front desk could be a little bit more courteous. The doctor, for the most part, he is very dismissive. I mean, to a certain point, I get better treatment with (name removed), which is a PAC. She's very attentive when I've seen her, more so than my regular doctor.
June 11, 2024
I feel that Dr. Escobedo listens to his patients. I had a list of concerns that were addressed by him. I am very satisfied with the care & knowledge that he imparts every time I see him. He also replies to my queries online - something I value since I don't have to leave my house to confer with him.
June 05, 2024
Dr Escobedo is fantastic. I enjoy talking with him. He explains things very well.
May 29, 2024

April 22, 2024
Dr. Escobedo is the most wonderful doctor! He is friendly with a huge smile, that immediately makes one comfortable. He takes time to listen to what has been bothering me, and brilliantly explains problems. He takes action to get to the underlying problem, rather than taking a wait and see attitude. He is caring and compassionate, also! My husband and I are so thankful for him!
April 17, 2024
As always Dr. Escobedo is great. he took time to explain to me what I was going through and made me feel very comfortable with the symptoms I had explained. sent me to get some xray to to look a little further into. Thank you Dr. Escobedo.
April 16, 2024
Yes, I had an appointment with Dr. Antonio Escobedo and he is actually a doctor who listens to me. He pays attention to me and he advises me if I have to exercise or how I should take pills. He listens to what I tell him about how I feel or what is going on with me. Dr. Antonio is a very professional person, and I'm very happy that he's my primary doctor. I'm very happy with his professionalism. Thanks very much.
April 15, 2024
Dr Escobedo continues to provide exemplary care!!
April 15, 2024
When I arrived at Dr. Escobedo's office, I advised the girl at the front desk that I had already pre-registered online. She asked me to sign in. Before, I finished signing in I was called in. Super fast! All his staff was courteous and kind. Dr. Escobedo is great! He is a good listener and answers all my questions and concerns. I would recommend his services to all my family and friends.

Dr. Escobedo was willing to listen to the steps I had already taken regarding my concerns. He also suggested consulting with other PIH Physicians and working together with them. Great bedside manner!!! Was efficient, but did not rush me.

December 19, 2023
Doctor is excellent
December 18, 2023
Dr. Escobedo went over my blood test results and asked about any other issues that I had, I felt like he listened and answered any questions I had.
December 15, 2023
Hi, I have seen Dr. Escobedo for the last couple of years. I have normally found him to be extremely helpful, very attentive. This visit was very, very poorly received by me. I was admittedly six minutes late, six minutes, but I was already checked in. So it wasn't as though I was 15 or 20 minutes late, but that's how I was treated, both by the office staff and by Dr. Escobedo. He gave me about 13 minutes of time, and I felt that was very inadequate for what was effectively a yearly physical. So I don't know if he had something else going on. That was the first time he's ever acted that way. I come from a long distance, and it's occasional that I might be late. But as I said, I was six minutes late. I was already checked in. And both the nurse who checked me and Dr. Escobedo himself both mentioned that I was late, and they gave me a little bit of time.
December 13, 2023
Dr. Escobedo is very attentive to my health concerns. He is also very personable and shows interest in my life and overall well-being.
December 12, 2023
On the last question, I prematurely pushed a number and didn't hear the full question. So I hope I didn't push anything negative in response to the question because my full experience with Dr. Escobedo was 10, 10, 10.
December 12, 2023
Sometimes while trying to schedule an appointment, it takes up to 3 months to schedule, this to me is the only downside of this office, otherwise all other aspects are outstanding.
December 11, 2023
The Doctor took his time to listen and make a good reccomendation.
December 08, 2023
Dr. Escobedo is a very kind and caring doctor and I very much trust him in his decisions. What he tells me I believe and trust his judgement. Thank you Dr. Escobedo!!!
December 05, 2023
Great Dr. Always looking out for my health! Thank you????
December 04, 2023
It's not on the good doctor. He's a good man and he cares.

Dr. Escobedo is very kind and takes his time with patients.
November 27, 2023
Every visit with my Doctor is a very pleasant visit.
November 24, 2023
I definitely like the way the back office, the back nurse treated me. The doctor was good, I like him. He's been my primary doctor for a while, so I don't have a problem with him. You guys need to work a little better on scheduling appointments that are closer date, because I have to wait a while to schedule this one. And the front office nurses could use a little bit more training in the sense of customer service. They're not very professional if that, if that's what I can call it.
November 21, 2023
