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.
Caring and thorough.

I got there 15 minutes ahead of time and they saw me early. Had x-rays and exam and was out 20-25 minutes later. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Hester and felt that he was very through and patient in answering all my questions.
