This review is not for this entire practice but specifically Dr. Melisa Estes. Quick background, my wife (who came with me on the second visit) has over 35 years of professional experience and has dealt with and known hundreds of MD's.
Never have I met a doctor that comes up short in so many ways, so numerous it's best to just make a list:
She entered the examining room and never acknowledged the presence of my spouse. A head nod would have sufficed, and actually it was rude.
She was "treating" a severe situation listed on the "pain" scale (1-10) as a ten. If you would like any compassion or empathy avoid this women. Told the medication she prescribed seems to have no effect, produced a shrug. She doesn't give the patient a chance to ask a question and offers up absolutely no information.
The office treatment required five spine injections. Not a word or warning before she started. Would be nice to be told, "you'll feel a stick" or just "here we go". Still no information was forthcoming; injections should work in hours, days, weeks? A simple question about at home treatment, heat vs cold did get an annoyed response.
After the injections she walked from the room without a word leaving the door half open. Minutes later we were called and told where to checkout. Guess we were done, huh?
She clearly makes it obvious she's uncaring and doesn't give a damn about you and couldn't be more disinterested. BTW, this was the second visit yet she never asked if the first injections worked well or not at all. You would think that information would be of value to her.
Visit her and you will get minimal information, no advise on the process, or expectations. What you will get is an attitude that indicates you're bothering her. She has all the warmth of a Pet Rock. read more
