Was impressed firstly by the number of X-rays that were taken by the very efficient technician and then, the amount of detail the doctor had to work with. Her reasoned Interpretation of all images resulted in a very clear path to treatment for my pain concerns. Lastly, the cortisone shot she gave me in the knee was so unexpectedly successful, I woke up the next morning with no perceptible pain in that area. Now, I wish I had been offered same shot in both shoulders before starting physical therapy this week. All in all. a most throughly positive treatment with immediate positive results.

Dr Estees was efficient, professional, caring, patient. Took time to explain the diagnoses and treatment options. She went ahead and gave me cortisone shots that relieved the pains for now!

I went to Dr Allison Estes for PRP injections in the knees. She is very professional and knows what she's doing. I will continue to use her in the future for PRP injections and knee surgery.

A joint injection, a diagnostic nerve block, and radiofrequency ablation answer different questions. Understanding the purpose of each step can make a pain consultation much more useful.
