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.

Horrible. Cut off our questions, cut off trying to answer her questions. Condescending. Not knowledgeable and certainly didn’t use her DO skills.

Dismissive and Disinterested
This doctor's bedside manner was dismissive and disinterested if not arrogant. Saw her at new Emergency facility on Plank Rd., Fredericksburg, VA. Wasn't sure whether to go in there or not with my non-emergency health issues and said so to the nurse who "admitted" me anyway. Tried to ignore this doctor's disrespectful treatment until I was hit with $350 co-pay even with my insurance. Which SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME PRIOR TO my admittance. I was very upset when I departed that facility.

She’s awful. She needs to take lesson in talking to patience. I’ve witnessed her on multiple occasions speak in a manner that does not help patients.

Treated me like a drug seeking piece of trash. Accused me of writing complaint letters against all of the doctors when I don't "get my way", meaning narcotics. Uhhhh no. Never. This woman is a quack. If I could give her less than 1 star I would.

My wife went to the Sentara ER for a migraine. Dr. Boesler treated her bad as soon as she entered. My wife gets migranes and seizures and unfortunately has to go to the ER often. The Doctor basically called her a drug seeker and actually belittled her, we got up and left. It was so horrible, I will drive the extra distance to go to Riverside before I ever go to Sentara again. Dr. Boesler has caused Sentara to loose the copays they get from me often, forever.

My wife went into the ER with abdominal pain and a migraine. Dr. Lessner-Boesler did the normal blood work and nothing was abnormal. Later she sent a nurse in to do a catheter and get a urine sample. No explanation on why a catheter was need. My wife wasn't asked to provide a sample. Later after leaving we found out it was for a drug test. Dr. Lessner-Boesler then basically treated my wife like she was a drug addict and told her take Tylenol. We went to another hospital and kidney stones.
