Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2021
Absolutely "AWESOME". Dr. Lester has cared for both of my parents for 10+ years. Both of my parents do/did suffer from Alzheimer/Dementia. This is a terrible illness. My mom passed in 2012. My dad is still living. Dr. Lester is very conscientious, compassionate and professional. My mom was not always in the best mood. However, neither of my parents ever complained of having to meet with Dr. Lester. Dr. Lester continues to treat my dad. She is definitely the MOST thorough doctor our family has experienced. Her staff is also very polite, helpful and accommodating, as we often contact the office for advice. No doubt..... Dr. Lester is the "BEST" of the "BEST." !!!!!!!!!!!
