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.

Dr. Kestin has been my physician for at least 15 years, and in that time she has always been attentive with her time and her expertise. She will answer any questions I have about my conditions...I have cholesterol issues and she has been unfailingly patient with me as I try to resolve them. She is a wonderful doctor who prides herself on knowing her patients and helping them to understand their medical needs.

I have been a long time patient of Dr. Kestin and have always been pleased. I went Friday to get my refills and she told me she needed a drug screen. I just started using the vape in the grape flavor to try to quit smoking and she said she detected marijuana and I needed to do a swab test and would send it off to get the results. I have not smoked marijuana in 30 years. I contacted an attorney and was told there were other test to confirm it so I am going to wait and see these results. Cried.

This is a wonderful Doctor, a wonderful Clinic and the Nurse Pract. Heidi Sullivan is also wonderful. They care so much about all their patients and they listen to everything you say. They are the best internal medicine in the region!

Very busy office. During my appointment, she spent most of the time looking at the computer. She did not lay a hand on me for any assessment or exam. This was my third visit and she has never even looked at her patient. What happened to listening to lungs, assessing HEENT, Checking for edema,palpating the abdomen? Just eyeballing your patient...
Found this disconcerting.
