My knee pain came on quickly and was very severe. We discussed a Cortizone shot and decided to move forward with it so I could enjoy my Fourth of July while taking it easy. I had an MRI on my knee 24 hours after I saw her. My follow up is Tuesday (MRI diagnosis) for a game plan. Until then, I have been following doctor’s orders to take it easy. I am so grateful we were able to take my pain down a bit so I could enjoy my vacation. The entire team at the office are friendly and caring! I highly recommend Dr. Estess for your care! V.

ACL repair 1 year ago now; great surgeon and follow up experience. Referred my mom to her for what that’s worth! D. B. Rating: 5/5 · Source: Zocdoc · Date: March 16, 2024 [Zocdoc profile](https://www.zocdoc.com/doctor/allyson-estess-md-526861) Source link type: listing Attributed clinician: Allyson Estess, MD > Choose someone else. My father had his surgery April 6, 2022 - he tore his bicep tendon. On his follow up 4/11/22 the doctor commented why does your arm look that? She botched his surgery - literally looks like Popeyes arm. She then said never mind it’s fine, as long as you can bend it… we came to find out she did not do an MRI before surgery, this doctor ASSUMED what needs to be done and ended up not fixing the problem. What doctor goes into surgery without getting MRI done and checking everything? I’m telling you, choose someone else to get your family member or yourself surgery over her. This all went through workers compensation and it’s been a nightmare. It’s been one year and my dad’s arm is not fully functional and it even looks botched. E.
