Dr. Dawn Mcqueen Estabrook, MD

My 6 year old was diagnosed with pneumonia by her colleague. Sent her on a sunday for a f/u visit because of no improvement. (fevers not improving, extreme fatigue etc). Had spoken to her on the phone day before- explained that her colleague (our pediatrician) had told us if no improvement she would likely need stronger antibiotics. She dismissed my concerns when my ex husband took daughter, said "i dont even think she has pneumonia" "its viral". As an ER doctor myself i knew she was wrong- I left work picked up my daughter and took her to the ER. She was hospitalized for 4 days with a whopping pneumonia. Very disappointing. I will never let either of my children ever have a visit with her again.

We have been to many doctors for our child with health problems and have found Dr Estabrook to be extraordinarily caring and knowledgeable.

I like all the other doctors at the office -- she is terrible. Avoid her!

Some doctors have no right to work with children. My son was in so much pain after face planting off his bike and she REFUSED PAIN MEDS. She said my son needed immediate surgery (he rec'd 25 stitches) yet then she told the surgeon he could wait another 24 hours. Her manner is abrasive and she has zero sympathy for children!!
