Dr. Esmer is excellent at treating my back pain and overall dysfunction in my back muscles and pelvis. He's also treated my husband for years. He's gentle, kind, and funny. I really appreciate having him as a resource.

Since the pandemic, he is often booked out several weeks to a month, so plan ahead.
