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. Hester has been my ENT for several years. He did a biopsy on a place on my face. Fortunately, it was benign. He referred me to a colleague of his who specializes in removing this type of tumor in saliva glands. Dr. Hester is a very knowledgeable, carrying professional. He answered my questions, and didn’t rush. I have a lot of respect for him.

Very good visit...Dr. Hester figured out in ten minutes what had befuddled three or four other doctors for two years. In fact, the other ENT's and specialists never did diagnose the problem.

Dr. Hester always takes the time to listen and is helpful in explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I have always had a great experience with him and his staff. Would highly recommend him.

Unbelievable worst bedside manner I have ever seen in a doctor. I was suffering from acute Meniete’s at the time, which had just begun a month prior. I could barely walk. Had every sign of Meniere’s and he not only missed the diagnosis, he put me on a low sodium diet and pretty much blew me off as having an infection. I haveone of the most horrific diseases of the inner ear and he missed it. His sense of humor was in very poor taste also. I’m now under the care of a specialist ar MUSC Dr Rizk
