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.

In his free time, Dr. Estes enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking and spending time with his two children.

When I need your help, you are there

So far so good

  May 16, 2024
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.

  Mar 24, 2024
Dr Estes provided me with tremendous pain relief (non-narcotic) for an arthritic knee

  Mar 19, 2024
Very good experience, thank you for your services.

  Mar 19, 2024
I think all the staff are fantastic! From the receptionists to the assistant to both the X-ray techs to the provider himself. They were friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and answered my questions and laughed at my lame on the verge of dad jokes

  Mar 19, 2024
Surgeon who is the very best at what he does and who is not only efficient but personable and always answers my questions.

  Mar 09, 2024
The staff and doctor are very polite. I like my doctor very much he is direct and to the point. A good experience.

  Feb 29, 2024
Great service all around: please stay this way; you all are wonderful!

  Feb 28, 2024
Was very good

  Feb 25, 2024
I have always had good care here. This appt was on a day when they had lower than normal staff. They were obviously pushed to see everyone. But we're very helpful and cfriendly.

  Feb 24, 2024
Lot of question was irrelevant. I was there for Arthritis shot on my knee.

  Feb 24, 2024
Dr Estes was thorough, responsive and professional. Appreciate the visit and nurse follow up when I called to leave Sports Medicine appointment information.

  Feb 23, 2024
The visit was good until Dr Estes found out I had a positive UA back in Feb 2023 and his whole demeanor and body language changed and basically didn't want to deal with me and added on additional measures that 8 already had taken care of with his PA Scott back in Jan (the initial visit) it was very unprofessional,demeaning and judgemental, to say the least,also very unethical for a MD. Me being a African American and a USAF Veteran of 11 years it's was also discriminatory and borderline racist.

  Feb 12, 2024
Quality Care

  Feb 10, 2024
Doctor is very skilled and knows his stuff!Problem: pain management. Steroid injection could not be done, I can't take NSAIDS, already using Tylenol and conservative management. No other options available.

  Jan 13, 2024
Had to wait a long time but was warned that they were behind schedule. Staff was very helpful.

  Jan 09, 2024
I was treated with the best respect and highly recommend Dr. Estes! He explained and answered all my questions and I ask to see my x-rays, which he went over all with me! Great doctor!

  Dec 31, 2023
VeryThey are excellent providers I really like them

  Dec 14, 2023
Everything was perfect. Except! Parking ticket validation machine failed. Ticket not processed.

  Dec 12, 2023
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 07, 2023
The Dr. Visit was great... Plus the Dr. Was so nice to look at.. Great eye candy for sure.. 100% satisfied

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

  Nov 28, 2023
This provider is a specialist/surgeon, not a primary care provider.

  Nov 18, 2023
I had an appointment within 2 days of request. The wait was almost an hour, but was warned that Thursdays are often backed up.

  Nov 17, 2023
Dr. Estes explained everything to me about my MRI that was taken of my left hip. He is kind and patient every time I see him.

  Nov 15, 2023
Dr Estes is world class. Over the past weekend I had a problem following my hip surgery He was right on it. Called a script and made an appointment for me for Monday. He is exceptional!!!

  Nov 13, 2023
Dr. Was rude. No eye contact. I feel that he careless about my health. I won't get surgery with him at all. I won't put my health in his hand again I will go to another facility to get my surgery. I don't trust him.

  Nov 07, 2023
I saw him 2 yr's ago, but it was obvious he didn't remember me and he hadn't reviewed my history/x-rays and MRI's. I've heard he's a good surgeon so I have faith when I do have my knee replaced he'll do a good job!
