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.

Dr Lester, never rush through, all ways listen and makes. Sure that she has addressed all you question question.feels that she truly cares.

Dr Lester was (I moved out of state) the BEST PCP I have ever had. She was the only doctor to really put an emphasis on my long term health and preventative measures to take now to help avoid problems later. I truly felt that she cared about where I would be health wise 5, 10+ years from now. I could not recommend Dr Lester more.

This visit was for my annual wellness exam. Dr. Lester was professional, gave me all the time I needed, and was friendly. She explained my lab tests in detail and answered all my questions. I feel that I have developed a trusting relationship with her. Dr. Lester is my idea of what a doctor should be.

Run far away! She is the worst doctor I have ever had. She told me that I had a heart attack per my EKG. She wanted to manage it for me. but I wanted to go to a specialist which she didn't like. I took the EKG to a cardiologist who wanted to know why I was there. The EKG did not indicate that I had had a heart attack. He stated that apparently she doesn't know how to read vectors or simply doesn't know how to read a normal EKG. I wouldn't refer my worst enemy's cat to her.

Dr. Lester saw me as a result of my phone request that same morning. She has a quiet manner, and she is very easy to talk with. She listened carefully and answered my questions with relevant solutions. She ordered X-rays and arranged for home health to work on my strength and balance. I feel very comfortable with the care she offers.

I could not be happier with the care I receive from Dr. Lester. I made the change to Dr. Lester in 2017, after more than 20 years with my previous primary care doctor. I wish I had done it sooner. Not only is Dr. Lester a great doctor (very knowledgeable and takes the time to provide thorough and thoughtful care), but the office staff is pleasant and professional. When I've seen one of the nurses on staff, I've had a positive experience, and when I've needed to see a specialist, Dr. Lester's referrals have been outstanding. Time in the waiting room is a huge pet peeve of mine but the last few times I have been to the office, I have had almost no wait. I'm definitely glad I made the change to Dr. Lester!

The appointment was canceled and never removed from the scheduling system. Dr Lester was not taking Medicare patients. You need to fix your system.
