Gregory L. Estes, MD
Orthopaedic Surgeon
“As a boy I loved sports and working with my hands, so sports medicine was a natural fit for me. After graduating from medical school, I was accepted into a orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Cincinnati. I then completed a fellowship in sports medicine and shoulder surgery at Duke University, one of the most respected programs in the country. During that time, I helped care for the members of Duke’s athletic teams, and I was trained to care for complicated knee and shoulder injuries.
”In school and during training, I was taught to diagnose and treat diseases. However, in practice I’ve learned that patients are not simply a diagnosis. They need to be treated individually based on their specific needs and desires. That’s why it’s important for me to listen carefully to patients as they describe their symptoms and to understand how their conditions affect their lives. This allows me to tailor my treatment to each individual patient and deliver the best care possible.
”My mission as a physician is to make an accurate diagnosis and provide the proper treatment to alleviate my patients’ symptoms. The ultimate goal is to allow them to enjoy their lives, whether it means getting them back on the playing field or simply sleeping through the night without pain.
“My favorite moments are when I’m seeing patients for their final visits after surgery. There are few experiences more satisfying than having patients thank me for helping them feel better and getting them back to their normal lives.”
