About James M Estes

“Great bedside manner...brought a friend for a vascular problem in his leg; after visiting several other doctors, Dr. Estes diagnosed the issue correctly and performed the surgery, allowing him to walk! We highly recommend Dr. Estes and Wentworth Douglass's cardiovascular services.”

    The provider, Dr. Estes, was superb. Okay, did an excellent job, explained everything to me, and said everything was good, and I'll see him in two more weeks. But I would highly recommend this provider.

    It was all I hoped for! Dr. Estes was professional, knowledgeable, understanding, calming and pleasant!!!!! It was a great interaction as we were moving from another state and I was trying to find new doctors. Being a Brigham patient I was happy to find Wentworth Douglas Hospital and the great doctors.

    Okay, yes, Dr. Estes has been a fine doctor for me for the last 10 years, and I've had no problems with him. He's been right up front with me, and I appreciate that. He's been nothing but a real professional about it, and he's moving on, so I have to find a new vascular doctor. So that's what's going to have to happen for me in the future. Thank you.
