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 doesn’t get in a hurry. She takes all the time necessary to ensure you understand causes and treatments. She is very knowledgeable and I trust her. Dr. Hester goes beyond what I expect from a physician. She’s great!!

Dr. Hester takes time to listen to your concerns and gives full answers that you can understand. She's not in a hurry to move on when she is with you and makes you very comfortable to work with her.

I have been under Dr. Hester’s care on two separate occasions. My life depended on the team of Dr’s which she was a part of. I can say that I completely trusted her judgment and decisions regarding my health. She gave thorough explanations and always took time to answer any questions that I had. Some Dr’s will ‘check up’ on their patients because it’s required but Dr Hester is truly concerned and dedicated to her patients and will go the extra mile when needed.

Happy Patient in TN – Jul 12, 2018

My aging father has become poster-child of infectious disease. He is on immunosuppressive drugs for a transplanted kidney so he picks up new bugs like I eat potato chips. He has been to many hospitals and many different docs. Dr Hester has been the best by far treating him, and getting him back on his feet. Highly recommended..
