Patient Reviews
Feb 07, 2018
I was born without a hip socket and the head of the femur was deformed. Had many hip surgeries and body casts, as a child, but to no avail. I walked with pain every day until it became unbearable. I was TERRIFIED to trust another surgeon with my hip! In 1994, I went to Dr. Lester. His enthusiasm and confidence also scared me as I'd seen it before in other surgeons. I actually cried all the way into surgery! That was 24 years ago, and I've never had pain in my hip since. HE'S THE BEST!!!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
