Pediatrics

Prior to starting at Community Health Pediatrics, Dr. Espinola served for over 11 years in the United States Army as an active-duty pediatric endocrinologist and general medical officer in Maryland, Texas, and South Korea. During his service time, he cared for the dependent children of military servicemembers; held multiple department and academic leadership roles; and developed his interest and skills in public health, health policy, and healthcare systems. Dr. Espinola is excited to transition from his pediatric subspecialty into general pediatrics. He hopes to partner with you and your family to optimize the growth and wellness of your infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers.

Dr. Espinola is originally from Massachusetts, and he is excited to now live in Vermont with his spouse and two children. He enjoys all four seasons of the year, endurance sports, and the culinary arts.
