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. Lester is knowledgeable, kind, a great listener and diagnostician. He took time to answer all of my questions and discuss all of my options.

My chiropractor referred me to Dr Lester after I got fed up with PAMF, their "standard of care" business model and the medical surveillance. I've had mixed experiences (mostly good - some truly do walk on water) with the providers and staff at PAMF. But Dr Lester hit it out of the park the first minute and continues to do so. I love that he's not only an osteopath but is a homeopath as well. He still has his black bag for when Medicare pays for home visits again. He has a really nice office, pleasant and knowledgeable staff, convenient hours, is a really nice and caring doc, and wonder of wonders(!) spends enough time with each of his patients to truly find out how they feel and what they feel they might need. And his patients have the choice of homeopathy, supplements and herbs, and/or regular Western pharmacy and treatments. And he keeps paper records so no invasive medical surveillance. Thank you, Dr Lester & staff, and thank you, Carol Shwery DC for the referral!

Dr Lester & Co ROCK!!! – Apr 19, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lester?
For 2 1/5 years I ran the gamut of doctors, procedures and lab test with no real results. My energy level was extremely low, I slept 12 hr. per day, no appetite or enthusiasm for life. I had lost all hope for a normal life by the time I saw Dr. Lester. In the 6 months Dr. Lester has treated me there has been a vast improvement in my energy level, quality of sleep and appetite. I can participate in normal activities as I continue to heal.

Dr. Lester is a wonderful physician, in all the important ways a patient would want. He listens carefully, taking time to understand and evaluate. He has many skills, using osteopathy and homeopathy harmoniously to effect the desired changes in one's condition. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I feel very fortunate to have him for my primary care physician. His office staff are friendly and helpful and it is a pleasant experience to go there.
