Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible Doctor
He refused to listen to my mother's background, which is imperative for future treatment. He interrupted every time she spoke, and used the word 'stupid'. It's time for him to retire because he has zero interest in patient care.

The worst Dr I have ever seen. I am a retired RN and had an awful experience with him. I had severe epigastric pain with weight loss over a 7 month period. I knew it was an ulcer, but he told me no and said that I was a complex case???? He did not listen and did not care. 1 week later, an endoscopy revealed 2 gastric and severe gastritis! This man does not need to be practicing medicine. Totally scary. Thank God I am well now. I never followed with him.

Dr. Estores is more concerned about liability than treating his patients. He does not listen. I told him over and over again why I was there and what my concerns were. He disregarded my concerns completely and would not approve a transfer.
