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.

The 'ideal' doctor is someone who validates my pain, listens to my problem and treats me with professional courtesy-that describes Dr. Fester! I appreciate him so very much. He is very knowledgeable and calmed my fears. I highly recommend him and his staff.

I explained that I would not be seeking surgical options at this time, maybe a year down stream based upon similar prior historical experience. Just the same he ordered MRI for soft tissue, maybe okay, however treatment should consider that the patient is not seeking a surgical option. In this regard he seemed tone deaf.

I was referred to this location by the urgent care on Faifield road. They told me it was a walk-in from 4-6. It was not, but they still made time for me. Dr. Fester is affable and explains things clearly and thoroughly. I appreciate the help and am grateful for the kindness.
