Dr. Rester was very attentive and involved with our child's clinical assessment needs. He involved the parents prior to the one on one point of care and following the exam. He explained the treatment goals/objectives in its entirety. He is very informative and a physician I can say exemplifies the true meaning of quality patient care

His staff is very unorganized. They gave me an appointment card but never put it on the books. I had even tried to call earlier that day to see if an earlier time was available, no answer and no call back from the message I left. Almost every time I've called his office I've had to leave a message because no one answered the phone. It's my opinion that is very unprofessional. I had also asked for my papers to file with insurance. I never got them and then when I called they made a claim that they couldn't read the email address. Dr. Rester is a nice doctor overall, he just needs to restaff.

I would recommend Dr. Rester to anyone who is in need of real help. Real meaning he wouldn't play word games with you, he tells it like it is and being a parent it's good to have a doctor who wouldn't hold back.

I wouldn't let him treat my dog! I sent my son to him and he prescribed medicine that caused him to have a manic episode. When we asked him to help he refused. He was more worried about his liability than helping my son. We found help for my son but no thanks to him!
