“Dr. Lester and everyone there were amazing with their time and efforts.”

I appreciated everything Dr. Lester did for me. He was great. However, I would really like to give kudos to Ashley, Josh, Jessica and Blaine. For 44 days they took the time to know who I was, talk to me each and every day like a friend, adjust my schedule when I needed to change it, worried about me when I missed a day and were all around an amazing group of people. They made those 44 days so less stressful and worrisome. The practice is lucky to have them!

“Amazing Care Team”

Dr. Lester and his team made it so much easier for me going through this experience. I never felt that I was alone facing my opponent. I always felt confident that I had a team of great professionals by my side fighting for me, as they did for various days during the planning stage and for 44 consecutive therapy days. There are no words that can express my gratitude to all at the Center. Amazing team work! Dr. Lester, Josh, Ashley, Leanna, Jess, Francesca, you are all awesome. God bless you all

“Dr. Lester and staff were informative, compassionate, encouraging and patient.”

Dr. Lester worked closely with each of my doctors. He began our first meeting by reviewing my journey with breast cancer. He explained the details of what I would experience and expect from the radiation treatments. Once a week he met with me asking how I was feeling, if I had questions and how to treat any issues that had developed from the treatment. The daily treatments were handled by a team that worked together in a caring, efficient manner. Most of my daily visits happened with in 15 to 20 minutes - from the greeting at the front desk to the 'See you tomorrow!' as I left the treatment area. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be distressing but Dr. Lester and his staff were a blessing in my cancer journey and I am very thankful that he was a part of my "Dream Team" of doctors.

“These are the people you want to take care of you”

Dr. Lester has treated thousands of patients in his 30+ years as a physician, yet he never forgot that this was my FIRST time dealing with cancer. He treated me with kindness and patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions. My two primary technicians Josh and Ashley were always kind, encouraging, smiling and true professionals. They made my treatment process very easy every day.

“Wonderful visit experience, the Most caring and professional doctor!”

My father is a prostate cancer survivor. He went to see Dr. Lester for second opinion on his treatment plan. Since he doesn't speak fluent English, Dr. Lester found him a very translator in the office. The visit was very pleasant. My dad was very happy with the professionalism, caring, patience that Dr. Lester has. His visit experience was very satisfied with the pre-visit and post-visit care of the whole medical team. This the best doctor's visit experience he ever had. Thumb up!

Words cannot entirely describe the satisfaction I feel with Dr. Lester and his staff. I am 82 years old and have spent a great deal of time in diverse medical situations.

Dr. Lester is matter of fact and pleasant. He has a lot of experience and does a good job of telling what typical expectations can be predicted as side effects from treatment.i think. My case was very typical and so may have been a bit boring but that is very understandable. I am just so Grateful to God that the treatment se.ems to have worked so well and that my outcome. So far has been excellent. I think Dr. Lester knows his trade and practices it well! I would recommend others to use him

I have a classic case of “white coat syndrome “. Here I am with Cancer talking to a guy who I am going to literally put my life in his hands. After our 30 minute visit I left a feeling that this guy knows what he’s taking about and that I’m going to all right. In addition, my first impression was that this is a good guy who seems passionate about his work and the well being of his patience. Very positive experience.
