David Scott Estes

He may have been a good doctor at one point; you can see glimpses of that. All I can say is that of the 4 times I saw him in 2022, he only paid attention and listened to my concerns the first time. After that, he discounted anything I said because it didn't mesh with his initial diagnosis. When I told him a medication he prescribed wasn't working, he literally said to me, "and what do you want me to do?" That was in the last visit, and the next day I made an appointment to see a different physician.

Dr Estes obviously hates his job. I found him to be dismissive and uninterested in me or my health concern. He has the worst bedside manner of any physician I have ever consulted.

After dealing with dr.estes I moved on..had to argue over his lack of treating my chronic pain...over 70 yes old and he is nothing but rude..don't waste time with him

Dr Estes is great. Very direct and informative with a professional manner.

Thinks he is all that. Might just as well be deaf, since he does not hear anything patient says, anyway.

I havent been to the doctor in 15 years and finally made an apt with Dr. Estes. I knew nothing about him and had to wait 8 weeks to get a well visit. I told him that I have had some lower back pains from a pinched nerve or pulled muscle and he said he doesnt do pain management? Huh? I havent been to the doctor in 15 yrs! and this was my result. I'm not sure what the point in going was. He will not respond to my calls or messages. In the process of looking for a different doctor that will take the time to care and listen.

Estes apparently doesn't think the patient should have any say about their treatment. He doesn't seem to want to take time to listen and as a regular patient it can still take up to three months to get an appointment. His staff is slow to follow up on phone calls and their record keeping is lacking. It seems that good doctors are leaving this area, but he is still here. Go figure.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Estes since he started his practice in Siloam Springs, AR. He is very bright, personable, and quite current in his medical knowledge. He thinks out of the box. He is the main reason we are both healthy and alive today. We drive considerable distances just to retain him as our personal physician. He is exceptional as a doctor and counsellor.

The man needs to put down the computer and talk with the patients. Doesn't want to answer direct questions or doesn't know the answers. Not sure which.Some of the office staff act as if they are doing you a favor.

Good doctor, knows his stuff, but not as great of a bedside manner. He's pretty quick and almost seems distracted. My bigger issue is that he records your dictation loudly immediately following your appointment -- loud enough for all to hear. I've heard all about peoples rashes, etc., while waiting to see him.
