Dr. Patrick Tester, MD

I'm surprised at the great reviews. I saw Dr. Tester for a couple of years. He never listened to me or considered my comments irrelevant to his diagnosis method. He was very irritable and made no progress ever with any complaints I had. I finally changed to a different practice all together where the doctor helped me investigate every issue I had and we finally figured out I have a problem with my heart that seems to be the cause of it all. I'll never forget him saying 'But I'm following the protocols.' Maybe he should work in a lab.

I have been lucky enough to have PatickTester, MD as my PCP for over six years. He is a good doctor. Professional, pleasant and always listens to my concerns. I value his opinions and knowledge. It is a pleasure seeing him. Marilyn Harrison

Dr. Tester is one of the best docs we've ever had. My husband and I both see Dr. Tester. He is professional and caring. Easy to talk to and doesn't rush through your visit. We highly recommend him and his staff.

I have the highest regard for Dr. Tester and his staff. I have had some pretty complicated medical issues and he and his staff have always taken care of my needs.

Dr. Tester was patient and did a good job explaining things.

Dr. Patrick Tester is my primary care provider with Wilmington Health. He is a true professional in every sense. He takes time to listen and provides honest feedback and medical advice. I never feel like I'm being rushed to clear the way for the next patient. I rank him with 5 stars plus and am very glad to have him as my doctor. He always tells me to give him a call at any time if I need some advice or if I'm having a medical issue. I also want to applaud his assistant, Britney Nestlehutt. She responds to any message I send her almost immediately I messaged her regarding a prescription renewal and she took care of it within minutes and I heard from the prescription pharmacy the same day to tell me the renewal was received and the prescription was on it's way to me via USPS. I'm entirely pleased with Wilmington Health and all the men and women medical professionals that I come in contact with on every visit. Truly the best I've ever had. Thank you!

Dr. Tester's team was quick to get me scheduled for a same day visit when I had a sudden health concern. Not only did Dr. Tester address my concern, but he was sure to follow through with treatment and care for it as well. Highly recommended provider and group.

Very thorough, personable. Listened to my concerns, helpful.

Dr. Tester is thorough, up-to-date, direct and he and his staff are prompt and helpful when responding to my inquiries.

I can't say enough about how professional and responsive the staff and doctors are at Wilmington Health. I suddenly experienced severe back pain. Accommodations were made immediately to see my primary care physician, Dr. Tester, who not only explained and identified my issue, he made direct calls to two specialist, Atlantic Neuro/Spine and Dr. Hess, so that I could see them the very next day. Dr. Tester provided the guidance and confidence to resolve this matter to the point where my pain was alleviated within 48 hours. Bottom line is my experience with Wilmington Health and Dr. Tester is exceptional.

Dr. Tester is an excellent doctor providing me thorough care and information for managing my health in the immediate and long term. I feel that I have a health management partnership with Dr. Tester. That's important to me. He and his team provide very fast analysis of reports and follow-up. Highly recommend.

Dr Tester and his staff are very caring. They are attentive to my needs and explain things thoroughly.

6 month check up went very well. I would recommend Dr. Tester to everyone. He is professional and very helpful to his patients.

My spouse and I have been patients of Dr. Tester for 6 years. He takes time to listen, answers questions, explains things as needed. Courteous, helpful staff. Convenient location.

Excellent doctor, by the book. He explains in common language you can understand.He gives you whatever amount of time you need.

He was very relaxed and very concerned about my health present and going forward. Very complete and did not rush to get me out.

My doc left to work elsewhere and I got Tester. Our first visit he addressed our check up and I said I had a question about my sinuses. He told me he had other p patients and had already spent too much time in the room with me. I was floored. I had no idea what to say to that. I paid my copay just like everyone else. He's cold and has no personality. He did make sure I'm getting mammograms and regular check ups, but it was in the computer. I've been trying to get in with a different Wilmington health provider for over a year with no luck. I've seen him about 5 times and each encounter is so lacking in bedside manner it's a relief to get out of the room.

Didn't really have an experience with Dr Tester. Here's why: Went to WH walk in clinic after experiencing chest pain and sweating last night. Told my symptoms to a lab assistant who said she would speak to Dr Tester. He refused to see me! Told her to tell me to go to the ER if symptoms come back. Said even if they did a enzyme test, results would be back till Monday. Asked if I could get an EKG, she said Dr. didn't want to. Clinic was closing in 30 min so maybe he just couldn't be bothered.

I waited 90 min to see Dr. He didn't apologize for the wait or acknowledge some questions I had. I came in with a bad cold & said that my sinuses, glands, & throat hurt a lot. He didn't look in my mouth, tap my sinuses or feel my glands. He gave me a cough med so I could sleep. The next morning, I called to ask for different cough med. since that one didn't help. Can't get through to his nurse' ext so you have to call for appts and ask them to transfer you. I left two calls-no response!

He is great, I would recommend Dr. Tester to anyone looking for a new physician. He is real good doctor that really listens to his patients.
