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.

Dr Estes is very personable and caring. He is a credit to your organization. He even recognized me from 12 years ago when he was working for another organization. He is amazing

Usually the doctor lets me see the x-rays and talks to me about what I'm looking at. I felt I was rushed out of there by this specific provider.

I enjoy Dr. Estes and his care team. It's easy, efficient, runs smoothly. I'm in and out, questions answered, care given. Exactly like I want. I know I can depend on them in an Emergency if I had one.

This doctor listened carefully to my physical complaints attentively and when I mentioned a further complaint that was not the reason for the present appointment (I had come for knee pain increased by a fall. I have a history of 2 back & 1 neck surgery) My chronic back pain had increased. He sent me back for a back Xray. His treatment, steroid injections in both knees, was successful. Great pain reduction and a referral to a pain specialist. So grateful for this sensitive, skilled physician Note, I am 81 years old. Dr

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.
