> I was kind of leery about using Zocdoc, but you know I’m gonna start using this more often. I was really happy with the doctor I selected. She was very, very good at explaining and I’m gonna keep her.

> Dr Estess was incredibly helpful and gave me a thorough explanation of what was going on with my shoulder. I sought her out for a third opinion and was glad I did. She spent a lot of time with me explaining the MRI and options to consider for me before jumping into surgery. She was kind, practical, helpful and friendly. I trust her judgment and appreciate the way she gave me a full picture of what to anticipate: pros and cons, of my condition.

She answered all my questions, and she laid out the next steps with clarity and conciseness. Her manner was straightforward, but although our session was brief, I never felt rushed.

> Dr. Estess is a great doctor. 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 :)

> Dr. Estess is a fantastic, patient-focused physician. I have seen her for a few different problems and I trust her completely. Really nice to meet a physician that listens to you. Can't recommend her enough for orthopedic issues. The Torrance office is clean, punctual, and the staff are really nice as well.
