Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Estes
The front office staff was awesome and I had a nurse that was great. But, Dr. Estes did a terrible job on one of my toe. I had a hammer toe and he went to fix it and it looks terrible. The toe bends downward and not straight. I pointed this out and they said he wasn't worried about it being straight. Now I'm worried about issues in the future.

Awful doctor
Foot surgery was supposed to have been easy, 10 minutes to remove a ganglion cyst. Stitched up, go hone. When they removed the stitches, the scar opened up, he told me to put a bandaged on it. I ended up in wound care and on a wound vac for 6 months.

Best Podiatrist Around
My diabetic feet were a hot mess (not all caused by the diabetes)..Dr. Estes has done 4 surgeries on me. All went very well! The staff is just as professional and caring as he is. I have referred several friends and family members to Dr. Estes and they agree, it is an all around great place for excellent foot care.

I cannot recommend him
My experience at dr. Estes office was very different from what I have read here. He didn’t have the time to explain anything. The only thing he told me that the break in my foot had changed the way I walk. Sent me to wound care and forgot about me for three months. He never made arrangement to see me. I had to cancel a standing Monday appointment and was rescheduled for a Friday and he happen to be there. Had not seen him in over 3 months, he opened the exam room door and asked “are you ready to get this over with?” Like I had been given options. So surgery was preformed and the hole in the bottom of my foot was nearly healed in two weeks. It would appear that when you move the metatarsal out of the wound it heals quickly.
