About Dr. Espinosa

Dr. Espinosa earned his four-year naturopathic doctoral degree and two-year acupuncture degree at the University of Bridgeport.

At the Center for Holistic Urology, Dr. Espinosa treated patients with a broad range of urologic conditions and directed clinical research under Dr. Aaron Katz.

Dr. Espinosa’s clinical research has centered on the therapeutic value of proper nutrition and supplement intake. His studies at the University of Bridgeport focused on quality control in the manufacturing of dietary supplements, and he is an authority on that topic.
