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.

Dr. Chester is amazing. I had Lyme while pregnant but my PCP wouldn’t treat it because I had no bullseye rash. (Clueless that most people don’t get the classic rash). Dr. Chester called me during vacation (from a peak where she could get a connection near her campsite!) to do a remote appt. Treated Lyme and got cord blood tested when I gave birth to make sure no issues with baby. I later tested positive for Lyme and thankfully had treated it promptly due to Dr. Chester.

I would never recommend Dr HHC or the office Integrative Health Center of ME. Watch out for their $69 Patient Portal fee they scam you out of. Every other Dr office offers a FREE patient portal. I was signed up for this without my knowledge & charged. Dr HHC is horrible at getting back to you with anything. I took multiple attempts by fax, email, and phone over the course of months to get her to send my medical records to my new Dr (who I obviously switched to because Dr HHC was unresponsive).

Dr. Heidi Heap- Chester is not only a good Dr. She is a true friend. She was our family Dr. in Buffalo New York, and I can not say enough about this lady other than if you have the chance of seeing her as a Dr. you are in the best hands you can be in. Bunny(Yvonne Reeder)
