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.”

    We have been very fortunate to have been a patient of Dr Estes. He has always made us feel like we are more than just a number to him. [redacted]

    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.

    We got there five minutes early, they took us right in. The doctor was very attentive, answered all our questions, made sure we had no further ones and left it open that if we needed his assistance, we can call him. Couldn't say enough good things about the doctor or the facility itself.
