I love Dr. Esquenazi! I see him for a tumor in my brain. In a very scare situation, he makes me feel comfortable. He make sure I understand everything before I leave and encourages questions. I love this doctor so much I refer him to all that need a neurosurgeon. His staff are amazing too.

I believe Dr. Esquenazi did a good surgery for my wife, and I believe like a God, a doctor can make a life, or mess up the life. But I believe Dr. Esquenazi can make my wife's life. Please do that. Thank you.
I like my doctor, but he's too far in the air! I get anxiety going to the 28th floor. But I will be back for my next visit!
Love my Doctor
I'm still trying to get in touch with the people in Dr. Esquenazi's office to set up an appointment. Nobody calls back. It's very depressing.
