About Me:

Dr. Estes, is a fellowship trained Orthopedic Surgeon, specializing in robotic-assisted, minimally invasive hip and knee replacements, including direct anterior total hip, total knee, and partial knee replacements. Working with a team of skilled caregivers, Dr. Estes provides a comprehensive approach to joint replacement surgery. During his fellowship at Rush University, Dr. Estes received extensive training in state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgical techniques that minimize trauma to the muscles, tendons and ligaments surrounding the joint. These techniques result in less postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays and a quicker recovery. Dr. Estes has also received training in complex revision surgery during his fellowship at Rush University as well as his residency, where he performed his total joint training at the Mayo Clinic Arizona. In his free time, Dr. Estes enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking and spending time with his two children.

As with most surgeons, dr estes can be brusque.

  May 11, 2024
I have been a patient in this practice for nearly 10 years. They are professional, attentive, efficient, responsive to my needs, especially when my pain requires immediate attention. I have complete confidence that I will be seen, diagnosed, and treated as needed. Schedulers and medical assistants are trained to recognize the difference between the need for routine and immediate appointments.

  Apr 02, 2024
The provider listened to my concerns and thoughtfully presented options.

  Mar 30, 2024
Waited over an over. Imaging not reviewed prior to visit.Waited 6 weeks to find out referred to wrong provider, if pre-visit planning or referral review was part of the process, both my time, and the providers would have been respected, in addition a patient who needed care could of been seen.

Very caring. I came on the wrong date. I was so embarrassed, but they were kind and got me another appointment very quickly.

  Dec 09, 2023
Dr. Estes was awesome! I would highly recommend him to anybody I know family and friends. I certainly trust his diagnosis for me. I came in thinking I had hip pain knowing I had back issues and he definitely said it was my SI joints he has referred me for a floral guided injection, that I am going to take care of, and hopefully this will get me out of pain and I will not be crippled any longer

  Dec 06, 2023
A very positive experience. I felt that the medical help I received was excellent.
