For the given example: Dr. Espinoza arrived from Washington, D.C., at 6 p.m. --- What is it was -- Dr. Espinoza arrived from Washington, D.C., at 6 p.m. I don't know if I'm supposed to pick her up. --- Is this one sentence or two? Can't it be read two ways?

If an abbreviation with a period ends a sentence, you do not need to add a sentence-ending period. However, do include other end-of-sentence punctuation (like punctuation marks and question marks), as necessary.

No.
Use a period with abbreviations:
Dr. Espinoza arrived from Washington, D.C., at 6 p.m.
Notice that when the period ending the abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence, it will also suffice to end the sentence. On the other hand, when an abbreviation ends a question or exclamation, it is appropriate to add a question mark or exclamation mark after the abbreviation-ending period:
