Dr. Estess is not just fantastic as a physician, but she has incredible integrity… To say that I am grateful that I went to see her would be an understatement.

Randy May 2024

Dr. Estess was incredibly helpful and gave me a thorough explanation of what was going on with my shoulder. I sought her out for a third opinion and was glad I did…

Christina July 2024

Dr. Estess gives you her full attention and doesn’t rush you through the appointment. She also helped me tremendously in fixing a long chronic back issue…

Dr. Estess has been fantastic. ACL repair 1 year ago now; great surgeon and follow-up experience. Referred my mom to her for what that’s worth!
