Review for Dr. Lescault
The appointment was on time. The necessary x-rays were taken. Dr. Lescault made a diagnosis after seeing them. I was treated and sent on my way with plans for the future. He’s a very serious physician.

Review for Dr. Lescault
Dr. Lescault recently replaced my hip. I value his medical expertise and would not consider surgery with anyone else should my other hip need replacing.
