Dr. Mora-Esteves was the most gentle, caring, and impressive Dr. I have seen in years! When he entered the room the first thing he did was give gloves to his nurse. That impressed me so much, bc most doctors don't give their nurses the time of day, let alone care enough about them to treat them with respect. He talked me through each procedure, explained to me what he was doing before he did it, made sure I was comfortable and understood everything, and was gentle and kind. He took me at the last minute even though I made a mistake on the time (thought it was 4pm but actual appt. was 1:45). I can't say enough about this doctor. The actual Palm Valley Group in Palm Desert is TERRIBLE. I've had absolutely HORRIBLE experiences with 2 prior doctors there, from exams to surgeries and everything in between. I explained that to this doctor and his response was, "Let's make this a better one", and thus far, he has done exactly that. He listened, he heard my fears, and I felt like I was in a place where someone actually cared this time (3rd time, last try). I would highly recommend this doctor to any woman who has not been handled properly, who is sensitive to words, touch, or bedside manners that many do not have. This doctor made me feel at ease and was very nice and understanding about everything I had previously gone through, and was not at all like the others. 5 stars for Dr. Mora-Esteves. My only regret is that I did not see him first, before being mutilated by the last one in that practice, being left hanging with the one prior to that, and having to wait so long to finally get something accomplished. I look forward to finishing up what we've begun and for the final result to be a very positive one. He's a good doctor, one who really does show care for his patients. A great big Thank You to Dr. Mora-Esteves from me. Thanks for making me feel heard and making me feel at ease, in as much as is possible in this area of medicine. read more
