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.

Awesome, Caring, Trustworthy
Bill has been my Doctor for ~ 20 years, he is very thoughtful, thorough, caring, and a nice person on top of it all. He takes time to answer questions, discuss options thoroughly and provides as much context and detail as you are interested to explore. Can't recommend more highly.

A superb physician!
Doctor Lester has been my PCP for nearly 25 years. He has always been friendly, attentive, and in tune with my medical needs. He's seen me through shingles and arthritis, and lots of other stuff along the way. I can't imagine a more satisfying relationship with a medical provider.

Dr. Lester takes the time to explain things and is 100% devoted to you and not trying to rush out to see the next patient. He is smart, articulate and thorough. I don't mind waiting for him because you know he will give you as much time as you need.

Dr Lester is very smart, articulate, and explains things very well. Not judgmental or dictatorial. Puts the ball in your court, but with the logic he explains things with, you're motivated to comply. Very nice guy, but you can tell he is of very high intelligence. Not the average guy you go for a beer with- though that would be fun. He wants to get it right by you- you get that impression the first time you meet him, because he cares about his patients, and you're a patient, so you're in!
