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.

BEST PSYCHIATRIST I HAVE EVER SEEN!
1st visit cane in paid the $200 first visit fee and I sat in the waiting room probably 15 minutes and he called me back then he proceeded to ask very important questions and describing everything I had going on to a T! VERY GOOD PSYCH EVALUATOR! He knows his psych meds and where to prescribe them!

5 years in care
I've been seeing Dr. Lester for 5 years. He has a lot of knowledge about medicines and conditions. He keeps up with the latest research and meds. He's done a good job with trying to find me help with PTSD.

I was nervous at first, not knowing what to expect, but...in 1 minute, he had me calmed down. I think Dr. Lester is a terrific Dr. He is voted number one psychiatrist in the area, especially for children. I had been told all my life I was bipolar, I AM NOT. I just need lots of benzos to keep me calm. I don't know what I would have done if Dr. Lester hadn't seen me, EVERY Dr, had put me on anti depression, I am a basket case on those. He told me to throw them away. I am getting better, Rome wasn't built in a day, thank God I have patience...but, if you have a problem, he will listen with both ears, and set you straight. Wonderful, and very smart man. I am glad to say he is my DR.

Dr, Lester will provide you only the minimum of care - if you are needing a prescription, then he may be able to write that for you - but if you need anything beyond a simple Rx, you would be better served to find someone else.

Dr Lester had been my doctor for years until one day I counted 18 pills in a day, My primary care doctor took charge and said no more. He helped me slowly stop all but 5 pills, he explained my liver was failing do to the chemistry it couldn't handle. I fired Doctor Lester and anyone who sees me tells me I don't know what you are doing but you look and sound fantastic, I maybe Bipolar but I don't need to be made into a zombi
