I came to her complaining of ongoing lower back pain and she provided me with a few options. One of which was to get an MRI just to be safe, so I decided to go with that. Turns out, I have two herniated discs in my back! No idea how! Again, she went over a few options with me and I'll be starting physical therapy soon to see if it helps. I'd recommend her to anyone. I felt very comfortable the entire time and I felt like she really listened to me :) D. M.

Dr.Estess went to bat for me with workers comp. What a nightmare that was! Dr. Estess was relentless in regards to ensuring I received the highest level of medical care for my much needed surgery. Her bed-side manner, attention to detail and approachable persona is paramount, compared to other doctors I've seen. She explains every step of the surgery and PT process thoroughly. I highly recommend Doctor Allyson Estess and the staff at this facility. S. R.

I started seeing her last year for shoulder problems after seeing another doctor with no improvements. > > As a photographer, I rely on my shoulder in my line of work. Dr. Estess listened to my concerns and gave me options. Although she is a surgeon, she suggested non-surgical approaches first. It can be scary to not know if you will ever regain full use of your arm, Dr. Estess explained everything thoroughly and honestly. Plus, she has a good sense of humor. > > She also has an office in El Segundo. Both offices have physical therapists. > > Pros: > Listens to you > Takes your lifestyle into consideration > ON TIME - no waiting thirty minutes or more past your appointment time > On-site physical therapists > Free plentiful parking at the Torrance location > Modern, clean, airy office > > The Torrance office can be a little difficult to find the first time - the building is behind the TGIF Fridays and Olive Garden. > > Cons: > El Segundo location has a paid parking lot, no street parking > No weekend hours A.

Instead of getting a live person, you get a recording that says to leave a message. Then, "If we don't call you back in an hour, call again." I called again in two hours and got the same message. > This has happened multiple times. The first line of contact should not be no contact! And disconcerting if one is in pain and hoping for treatment sooner, rather than later. > > Dr. Estess, herself, is personable and gave me brief explanations of what could be done. I would have preferred more detailed explanations/descriptions. I was set up for an MRI, but no appointment to return and discuss. I had to call back and go around the "message system" to get a follow-up appointment. > > All staff members were pleasant and easy to deal with, in person. J. G.
