Usually the doctor lets me see the x-rays and talks to me about what I'm looking at. I felt I was rushed out of there by this specific provider.

Dr Estes was kind and graciously assured me that replaced hip was doing fine and showed no signs of concern. He also carefully explained the current condition of my arthritic left hip.

From the beginning I knew something was wrong with my leg after I had a total knee replacements. I had severe swelling. I ended up twice in the Emergency Room. The doctors there wanted to do some other test but he told them not to. He just kept saying this doesn't make sense this doesn't make sense. But did not want to do any other test. And He also told me at 6 weeks That he would not give me any more pain medication. And his exact words were you will have to suffer through the Pain.After 5 months after surgery and still not helping me figure out what was going on I had to go and get another surgeon.This surgeons 1st words were have you had this test done or this 1. And of course I had to say no he wouldn't do Them And told the Emergency Room doctors not to do them either. I would never recommend him to anyone.I know a surgeon is very busy person but they should take the time to really listen to their patients, They know their body better than anybody.
