Biography

What sets Dr. Edward Espinosa apart is his attention to detail. An extra test for peace of mind. A bigger gown for modesty. He notices all those things. Influenced no doubt, by a devastating motor vehicle accident followed by a long hospital stay when he was seven years old after his mother’s car was struck by a drunk driver. “I remember how it felt when I was the patient. The human element, the communication piece, I place a lot of value in that.”

An Atlanta native, Dr. Espinosa is the primary physician at our Buckhead office, formerly Buckhead Medicine. He is a fully licensed board-certified internal medicine physician with over 15 years of clinical and hospital experience. His expertise includes the diagnosis and treatment of chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, and depression. His goal is early detection and diagnosis of disease in its earliest and most treatable stages. “I just had a patient where we caught pancreatic cancer at a very early stage. We couldn’t get an answer from a specialist, so I ordered a few more tests and then we found it. It’s so important to catch that type of cancer early to improve survivability. In this case, it can be the difference between life and death.”

 He opened Buckhead Medicine in 2008 and has steadily grown the practice to nearly 300 members. But a bigger practice means a busier schedule and more administrative work, making the decision to merge with WellcomeMD an easy one. “I want to grow the business, but I’m not willing to compromise on spending time with my patients. I want to focus on patients and build relationships. That’s how we’ve grown to care for entire families. That’s how we caught that cancer early. I love to go above and beyond what’s typical. We live in this community; I see my patients at the grocery store. We’re a family. WellcomeMD also provides us a framework to implement functional medicine, which is becoming more popular and many of my patients are seeking these enhanced services as they see me as their primary care physician and someone with the expertise to provide nutrition and health coaching. Now we can have all that under one roof.”

 Outside of work, Dr. Espinosa likes to spend time with his family. He enjoys boating, traveling, scuba diving, and exercising. He is fluent in Spanish.
