I've been seeing Dr. Lester for the past couple of months and I am extremely satisfied with his care. He is currently seeing patients virtually via webcam and so far has always been on time. That's usually unheard of, but I love the fact that he respects his patient's time. He's very attentive and listens carefully. I'm extremely happy with him!
