Dr. Andrea Espinoza is the best pulmonologist my mother has ever had. She has controlled her asthma for many years now. She is also the nicest person youll ever meet. She wants to make sure her patients are healthy in every way. She incorporates everything in her care for her patients. I wish we could give her 10 stars. She deserves it.

Dr Andrea Espinoza truly cares for her patients and want to see them progress quickly. She is very kind hearted and she helped me overcome very acute battle with CoVid -19 and is with me in the battle against this second bout of omnicron.

Dr. Sherman has treated me not just as a patient but like a sister since the day we met. We discussed my issues and try to resolve them every time we meet. I highly recommend Dr. Sherman as a Orthopedic Surgeon.
