"The other practitioners have seen our children as well we have no complaints. Best. Office. Around. We’ve been seeing Dr. Estes for almost 10 years..."
— LocalityBiz review"The only thing I didn't like would be the wait. When you get there it's fast but then you go to your room and sometimes you wait more then an hour just to see the doctor and when you have kids that's hard to do in a small room."
— Birdeye review"This is the worst doctor office I have ever dealt with. We had an appointment a week ago Monday. We showed up only to find out the doctor had called in sick. We did not get a call telling us not to come in."
