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.

God complex, can’t timely admit treatment is fail
When you meet dr Lestingi, first impression will be really positive. Unfortunately as his “treatment” is not working he starts to avoid face to face contact, using his nurses and giving false calming information. Be alert because when you hear from them despite worsening blood results that “everything is fine, it will get better, we just need more time” by the time he will finally admit that his treatment completely failed it will be too late to do anything else like alternative therapies. At the very end don’t be surprised that he will treat you like you shouldn’t even question anything and better have your mouth shut otherwise he can mock anything you say. Money has been made for him you are just another “case” nothing else. Just a food for thought.
