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.

Outstanding Surgeon
I have been under his care for about a decade. He is a warm, caring and very thorough surgeon. I had a surgery and it was extremely well done, healed well and quickly, and painlessly done. Highly pleased with Dr. Estrada in every encounter that I have had.

I injured myself moving and it seemed as though surgery was inevitable, to complicate things more, this happened while elective procedures were prohibited due to COVID and virtual meetings were the safest way to maintain contact. Dr. Estrada and his staff were phenomenal. Extremely helpful, very responsive to my inquiries, and after a month of at home treatments and their counseling, I was able to correct the matter and avoid an invasive surgery. I would recommend Dr. Estrada and his office to anyone without a moments hesitation. I’m very grateful for their care and professionalism.

I am a colleague of Dr. Estrada. I send each and every patient to his practice because I trust this practice without reservation. This is the place I have sent my family. At the end of the day, these are the people who care the most.

This is a very vulnerable part of your body and I felt like all of my concerns were dismissed with a pompous attitude. He answered his cell phone in the middle of our appointment. Not only is that completely unacceptable and rude it is just plain wrong. I have never felt so uncomfortable with a doctor in my life. He maybe a wonderful surgeon but people skills are non- existent.

Doctor and staff are unresponsive post-procedure; they incorrectly coded the procedure, so my insurance has billed me. I will not return to this doctor.

Love Dr. Estrada! He told me why didn't I come to him and that once I had my surgery I would regret not coming in sooner. Soooo true. It was one of the best things I did in my life.

Never saw him. Their schedule is so bad, that the few pockets each week that are available don't align with my schedule. Don't bother leaving a voicemail. Nobody checks it.
