Great at explaining. Gave me info on how to schedule surgery.
Excellent as always
It was a great experience. I went in with serious chronic shoulder pain and walked out with a plan for how to deal with it. I am totally satisfied with the plan and feel much better already.
Doctor Kester explained the impact of my health condition completely. He also stated my path forward action steps towards the resolution as well as the duration of time that I should expect for my total recovery.
I would say that you guys are very lucky to have this Dr in your system!
