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.

Trusted physician for many years
As a nurse, it took me awhile of searching to find a competent, caring, and trusted provider after moving to Spokane many years ago. I was looking for someone who was board certified, but also cared about my well-being, to be a partner in my health. I found Dr. Sestero to be just the doctor I was looking for, and have been seeing him since at least 2018/2019. I have no plans to find a new doctor and will be seeing him until he decides to retire or move. Great guy, funny, intuitive, and has a sincere bedside manner.

I am a chronic pain patient. Prior to surgery my doc worked with Dr. S on a plan to manage my pain postop. When it came down to it, he refused to follow it and medicate for pain immediately after surgery. Fresh postop in severe pain and they refused to do anything. Hours of consultation to develop a plan that he agreed to and he refused, preferring to leave a patient in excruciating pain. I still have horrible anxiety after 2 years. I need more surgery but I'm to afraid because of him.Horrendous
