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.

Knee Replacement
First of all, the staff are so nice and personable. I really like Dr Hester. He was informative and explained everything and he answered all my questions. I was able to set up my knee replacement surgery date and work it around my job. I have also received nothing but great reviews from personal friends that have recently had their surgery done by Dr. Hester. I am looking forward to being able to bowl again in my leagues.

We did not meet with Dr. Hester this time. We met with Ben. He is a good guy, but we were expecting to meet with Dr. Hester to discuss with him in person my. knee issues and more importantly, my hip surgery.A question I forgot to ask, is this: immediately after a total hip replacement, do I have the option of going to a rehab facility for a few days?

Hip replacement
Dr. Hester's warm, cordial manner won my husband's (Ron Russell) heart. The pre-op interaction was clear and concise. The post-op visits were full of information, which helped us to relax and get on with the recovery process. Thank you for having such a doctor on the UT staff.

Love My New Hip
I highly recommend Dr. Andrew Hester for total hip replacement. He explained the procedure and informed me of what to expect before the surgery. The surgery and recovery went well. I attribute my success to his skills as an orthopedic surgeon. He cares about his patients, and I thank him for taking care of me.

The surgery went well
Although the surgery went well , afterwards I stood up to get dressed and couldn’t stand in my left knee and had to be hospitalized until I could walk . The hospital stay was ok but the second day I was there, there was a problem with me being there , I asked for plastic silverware and paper napkins and the next thing I knew I was told that I had to be out by 12 Noon , that my Doctor didn’t give orders for overnight stay my question is how could he when this was not an expected outcome . I don’t know how me not wanting to use dirty silverware warrants my immediate discharge , I will be filing a complaint as Ms grievance.

5-star doctor from beginning to end.
Dr. Hester lived up to all of the reviews listed online! He is extremely personable, very caring, listens intently to patient problems and worries then explains every procedure needed to remedy the situation. He was able to alleviate all of my worries, concerns and fears I have about upcoming surgery.
