Dr. Espinoza

Your Doctor Matters FRANCISCO ESPINOZA, DDS

Dr. Espinoza graduated from The Benemerita University of Puebla, Mexico, and completed a one-year residence at Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS). He later went back to his country, “great Nicaragua,” a land of lakes and volcanoes, and completed two years in a Rural Community. He then went to Honduras, his neighboring country, due to the Nicaraguan civil war. Dr. Espinoza was a member of the Honduras Dental Society and spent one year in a community where he was the first dentist in that village's history who did services for free. After coming to the U.S., he became a CDT and worked for a dental office for four years. He later joined an advanced dental program at New York University, where he completed his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). Since 1998, he has enjoyed being a private practice dentist in Bradenton, Florida.

Dr Francisco. Did a root canal for me very gentle aid took his time, I had no pain. I am scheduled to go back to finish the crown next week. I highly recommend this dentist and his office the staff was very perfessional and courtesy. Comparing other dentist inthe past Dr Francisco was the best I have ever experienced in my life. I will refer him and his office to all of my friends and clients. My wife just had a implant and when it heals she will complete her crow with Dr Francisco. Thank you for the great service.

My first visit to Dr. Espinoza was a great experience. Let me start by saying I’m terrified to go to the dentist! Dr. Espinoza immediately puts you at ease with his calm and sweet demeanor. The most impressive part of my visit was that Dr. Espinoza and his Manager took the time to show me my problem areas on my x-rays, which I have never had a dentist do before. All of his staff made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I never felt rushed. Dr. Espinoza and his staff have a special way of making your visit personalized, same day appointments, comfortable and stress-free. I highly recommend this office and they are one of the best dentist offices I’ve ever been in!
