Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A bit disappointed
he just gives me a diagnosis which I already knew I had but no elaborating about why i was experiencing certain symptoms.What happened to doctors that take more time explaining why and how!

the most horrific experience I have ever had. I am a doctor myself for 35 years. I called as a new patient with a chronic spinal condition that's been getting worse. clear cut established diagnosis. they refused to book me unless I send a new MRI, have the doctor review it and decide If my condition deserve his attention. which I did all of the above. the radiologist that read the MRI even called the doctor to convey how bad the progression of my case has gotten. still no booking, no call back, nothing. I called again begging for an appointment as I couldn't sleep for 3 weeks from the pain. still no response for merely an appointment. it has been 5 days of me calling after fulfilling all their needs. and still not even giving me an appointment. if they do that to someone in urgent need let alone a "colleague" what they will do to other patients. if they made enough money not to care to take new patients, at least be honest and say we don't take new patients instead of jerking them around for days while they are in pain. they simply don't care.

Very professional, with outstanding skills.
I highly recommend Dr. Estin. I've had two cervical spine herniation surgery's, about 4 years apart. He was a professional surgeon who did his very best both times I needed surgery. Tip: Go with a list of questions. There is no doubt in my mind that I would return to him again if needed !

Dr. Estin solved my lower back pain by surgery; and now I'm able to walk 2 miles without pain. Dr. Estin is monitoring my two brain tumors with MRI and providing me with several options. I trust Dr Estin with my life!

I never met with Dr. Estin, but I can report that the women working in the front office, including Doreen,, the office manager, are the rudest group of people I ever came in contact with. They are representing this office and lack any compassion or customer service skills. Very unprofessional!

Had a complete disk replacement in August 2015, C5-C6 area. Dr. Estin took extra time to replace the disk rather than do a fusion. The surgery was a single blink of the eye to me. The end result was 100% success, not a single tingle, or ache or pain. He is a one of a kind focused dedicated surgeon. He came extremely highly recommended from friends and from a company provided professional search. The other recommendations were Dr's in his group. He is an expert in his field and board certified.
