Doctor Lindsay Esch is by far the best doctor I have had in my 66 years of life. She is so extremely caring and concerned about your health. She goes out of her way to help you. And she is so very very professional. I have been sitting in a wheel chair for 4 1/2 years waiting to get a hip replacement, and only because of Doctor Esch, did I get one and am walking as of today. She helped me get my life back. I will forever be grateful to her!!
