Overview

I am originally from Mexico, so I speak fluent Spanish. My parents emphasized the importance of education.



I am interested in offering my patients both traditional and holistic medicine, leading to better healthcare. My commitment to patients is to provide personalized care and build long-lasting relationships.

As a family medicine practitioner, one of my primary drives is assisting patients with their weight loss goals since starting residency at Valley Baptist Family Practice Medicine in 2015, graduating in 2018, and then at the Veteran Affairs from 2018 through 2022. I was also a primary care physician for Cano Health from 2022 through 2023 before launching RGV Direct Care.

Dr. Escobedo is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Obesity. His top areas of expertise are Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Vitamin D Deficiency, Subacute Combined Degeneration, and Diabetic Neuropathy.
