Dr. Estes seemed very knowledgable and concerned about my health. Did not just rush me out of the office with a prescription like many doctors.

I presented to Dr Estes with a multitude of potential “google diagnoses.” Dr. Estes calmly and compassionately listened while I explained my symptoms. His experience was evident when he provided me with a distinct diagnosis and clear treatment plan. I am happy to report that I have recovered. I would recommend this physician.

Dr. Estes always makes me feel comfortable and takes the time to address my concerns. Every time I come in he remembers my name and stories from the last visit and makes visiting the doctor a lot less daunting.

Honest & thoughrough. Dr. Estes made me feel comfortable with his diagnosis and treatment plan. He took the time to treat me, not purely "appease" my wants. Overall a pleasant experience. Would feel comfortable taking any of my family members to him. His experience was evident. Thank you!

It seemed as if he was hitting on me through the entire exam. I came with my husband. Unprofessional . The rest of the visit was good .
