I have been a patient of Dr. Kester for 2 years. I could not imagine a better Doctor. I have had a few urological problems which he has diagnosed and treated, I am very satisfied with the results.Thank you Dr. Kester!

I would (and have already)highly recommend Dr. Kester without any hesitation to anyone needing a urologist. Working with Drs. Kaplan/Medina of 1st Line Oncology on my partner's prostate cancer they made up the type of a working team that you hope all medicine would emulate. Careful, insightful, precise, professional, and also, yes, fun. He is worth a trip for treatment if it is needed. We would go out of our way to be his patient.

We cannot praise Dr. Kester enough for the excellent care he has given us, and continues to give us. Because of Dr. Kester (with Dr.Kaplan) I am cured of my prostate cancer (it has almost been 5 years). In his extremely capable hands I received excellent treatment to stop the cancer. In the beginning it was a bit upsetting because it was near a vein. But Dr. Kester (and Dr. Kaplan) set up treatment that stopped the cancer from spreading.Because of my experiences with Dr. Kester, my partner now goes to him.We both are very greatfull that we have him as our doctor.
