Hayden Lake Family Physicians

"My appointment was on time, I was a little intimidated because I've never had a steroid injection but my knee has been really bothering me so thought I'd try it before pursuing other methods. It was painless and I believe my insurance should cover all of it but we'll find out. We've been with this practice for over 30 years and I've seen changes but since we're both healthy we don't go in more than once or twice a year. Staff is friendly and thorough."

"Hayden Lake Family Physicians has been a blessing to my children and me for 24 years. The staff is professional and attentive. Dr. Esau has been my primary care physician. He is kind, caring, compassionate, and his advice wise. He takes time to listen to all my questions and concerns and to answer them thoroughly. Dr. Esau’s primary medical care of my three youngest children until they were grown has had a long-term positive impact on their health and well-being. I am thankful for the new concierge medicine program. The excellent healthcare for the whole person at HLFP has been a Godsend. Thank you, Dr. Esau, and the rest of the staff, including Gretchen and Fay, at Hayden Lake Family Physicians."

"I have had a positive experience joining the new concierge medicine program at Hayden Family Physicians. I am a long-time patient of Dr Esau , and I now have one day access to his medical help. Dr Esau spent almost 2 hours listening and consulting with me at my recent yearly check-up. I was able to address ALL of my medical concerns and receive competent and valuable feedback and advice. This new system gives me a doctor who has the time to help me with my medical problems and treat me as his experience and knowledge inform him, without interference or control from a larger health agency. This is the way it should be and used to be."

"I have been a patient here for many years, and they provide excellent service and follow up. I particularly like their new business model. I know it cost a little bit of money but these days it’s so hard for medical practices to stay in business under the current government, guidelines. and beyond that, I know that they truly care about my well-being, and will always help me in taking care of any medical needs I may have. They spend as much time as I would ever need and it’s nice to know they are always just a phone call away and can typically get me in the same day! They Shirley deserve a five star!"

"My wife and I have been patients at Hayden Lake Family Physicians for over 20 years, finding Dr. Esau a caring and thorough physician who sincerely cares. We've always been able to get appointments in a timely manner and there is usually very little wait time in the office. NP Francis deTar is also excellent and takes the time to follow-up with phones calls to check on his patients. With more and more federal requirements, insurance company mandates, and a challenging economy, the medical world is going tough times, but HLFP is doing their best to navigate through this with the best interests of their patients. Thank you to the entire staff!"
