DR. AUDOMARO ESQUIVEL

Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

• Dr. Esquivel was a wonderful pediatrician. Although I worked on a surgical unit, he always came to see his patients, even though they were being treated by surgeons. I was so impressed with Dr. Esquivel, that I always chose him when a pediatric consult was needed for a patient who did not have a pediatrician. When I had children, Dr. Esquivel became their doctor and he was so good with kids. He understood their needs and was always caring and calm with them. I was so fortunate that my children had Dr. Esquivel as their pediatrician. My deepest condolences to his family on the passing of a wonderful human being. - Posted by: Valerie Blank (co-worker at Childrens Hospital) on: Jun 20, 2025

• Dr. Esquivel or as I knew him when I was a kid Dr. Poncho (never was sure where that name came from) Dr E knew my Mom when she was 1 years old and dealing with what then was a rare type of cancer. He then became my pediatrician...he was an amazing man he saved my life more then once. He saved the red suckers for me because they were my fave. He then became my eldest daughters Dr. It was a full circle moment. He made such a huge impact on my life. It was full of dysfunction and he always made sure I was okay. There truly will never be another like him...he is special, I'm so glad to have known him. - Posted by: Krystal (Patient) on: May 29, 2025

• Sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Esquivel. My sincere condolences to Dorothy and family.I have so many fond memories of working with him at Richmond West Clinic. Every day was pleasure to go to work. He was a great teacher, wonderful with his patients, and of course had an special sense of humour. I will treasure the wood pieces he made for me as well as the toast tongs made out of tongue depressors! There will be a special place for him in the “beyond”.❤️💐 - Posted by: Betty Grant (Coworker) on: May 28, 2025

• I read about Dr. Esquivel’s passing this weekend. While it has been many, many years since seeing him, I remember well from my childhood the wonderful and caring foursome - Drs Briggs, Christie, Esquivel and Sachdeva on the 6th floor of the Winnipeg Clinic. My dad, Keith, often spoke glowingly of his colleagues and the wonderful partnership they had, taking care of countless thousands of Winnipeg children over the years. May your families cherish your memories of him. I know he was a tremendous doctor. He sounds like an even more wonderful husband and dad.

• We are saddened to learn of the passing of the most wonderful and caring pediatrician. Our sincere condolences to Dr Esquivel’s entire family. I met with him in 1971, when I was pregnant with our first child, wanting to get to know the doctor who would care for my children. I understood instantly that my children would be so blessed to be in Dr Esquivel’s care. We all loved this dedicated doctor and special soul. (And as my 54 year old son just reminded me - no more post appointment lollipops!) Thinking of all of you!

• I remember how amazing he was when he was my paediatrician. I was never afraid to go to the doctors as long as he was the doctor I was seeing. He had a way with us to make us feel safe and I trusted him with all my heart. I still have memories of his calm and gentle nature. He was truly one of the good ones who cared about his patients. A true passion for helping others. I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure he will be greatly missed. Best doctor ever. - Posted by: Robin McCartney (Patient) on: May 24, 2025
