Dr Escallon is an incredibly thoughtful, intelligent and smart physician. I first met Dr Escallon as a resident, and can attest to his masterful ability as an educator – he clearly genuinely cares about each child he sees and imparts the importance of knowing and considering all aspects of a child’s life when planning treatment. I now am lucky enough to work with Alberto and see first hand how fabulous a doctor he is – patients love him, their parents love him and I understand why. He’s a truly great physician.
