Dr Estrada performed knee replacement surgery several years Nadine I have arthritis in my left knee as well. Not ready for surgery so came for alternative relief. We discussed cortisone injection which I had before an hyaluronic acid injection. He gave a clear explanation on the benefits of both and suggested a course of treatment that I was amenable to. In the years that I've been coming to him, his patience and general chairside manner is exceptional and is an excellent surgeon.

Dr.Estrada and his nurse were amazing from start to finish! I highly recommend Dr.Estrada. I would give him and the team 5 starts but my appointment was for 0945 I didn’t get seen until 1117. I had to asks the front desks staff what was going on. I wasn’t informed once by the front desks staff. Communication is key! Dr.Estrada and his nurse were very apologetic with the late start!

From time I walked in door , till I left I was treated with respect. The staff were friendly, kind, and answered all questions. The radiology technician also very professional, and explained all procedures. Nursing staff was awesome and prepared me for the visit. There is not enough words to explain Dr Estrada. He listened, was concerned and explained his evaluation. He performed a procedure past explanation. He is an awesome physician.
