Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thank you Dr. Estes!
Dr. Estes is great. He is very patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. ACL surgery went perfectly. The entire staff is incredible and very helpful!

The Best!!
Dr. Estes is one in a million! He is compassionate, understanding, caring, and listens. I have suffered with knee pain for 23 years, with multiple surgeries, injections, ablations and medications. My recent surgery with Dr. Estes has made an amazing difference in my pain and I am forever grateful for his knowledge and skill.

Excellent Experience !
As a first time patient, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect at this appointment. What an outstanding experience! The staff at the front desk was courteous and efficient, the X-ray technician was knowledgeable and kind and both the doctor and physician’s assistant were beyond amazing. So thankful for this practice!
