Dr. Estes has been wonderful. He has great bedside manner and is up front at the same time. I would highly recommend him as an OB/GYN.

Dr. Estes is a VERY caring doctor, he is VERY down to earth!! He takes ALOT of time with you, and actually listens to you and remembers what you told him the next time you see him! His nurse, Kim is very caring and helpful as well. You do have to wiat sometimes about 45 minutes to see him, but it is worth it, it is just because he spends so much time with his patients being very through with them and he actually sits down and listens and tries to figure out what is wrong. He does not have his hand on the door the whole time he is talking to you like some doctors I have been to. I have been going to him since I was 25 and I am 40 now.I cannot say enough good things about him!!! He goes the extra mile with his patients and makes them feel very comfortable and jokes around with you to put you at ease!

Dr. Estes is very good in regards to caring for his patients and actually remembering who you are. Very good bedside manner, personable and concerned. It takes forever to get an appointment and you will wait forever in the 2 waiting rooms. His nurse is warm and concerned, nice.
