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.

Needs better staff
Dr. Hester is great, when you can see him. Plan on at least 6 weeks before an appointment, even established patients. And expect at least 3 days before nurse will return your call, if at all.

Dr. Kester gave me back my life again with a total hip replacement. I was not able to walk and had to use a rolling seat walker to get around completely. Now I'm still using a cane for now, but soon will be walking without that. No more pain in hip. Was gone when I woke up. Of course you have pain at surgical site but that is nothing compared to previous pain. I can not say thank you enough to Dr. Kester and his team. THANK YOU.

I do not know how good the Dr is because I can’t get anyone to return my calls. The one time someone actually answered the phone they immediately hung up.

I have no issues with Dr Hester. In fact I was pleased. However, he prescribed a shot for my hip one week ago. I have tried to call his office numerous times over last few days and left voice mail. To date I have not been favored with a return call. Maybe their phone system is broken? I cannot imagine such poor patient service unless that is the case.

My experience with Dr. Hester was having total knee replacement surgery on my left knee. Dr. Hester was very knowledgeable with this procedure. He took the time to explain everything he was going to do. Answered all my questions. His bed side manner is very professional. He is a caring Dr. and didn't butcher me up. I was up and walking the same day . He has an excellent staff at Midland Memorial Hospital and his office staff at Urgent Orthopedics in Midland. Excellent surgery Doctor Hester.
