    Dr. Lester was amazing. This was my first in person appointment. She explained so many things to my mom and myself. I didn't feel like she rushed me and I could talk with her about all my questions. Also she was so good when she had to give me injections. Dr. Lester is so good at her job.

    Dr. Lester is wonderful. Attentive, caring, thorough, hard working (maybe too much?) ...... I appreciate the opportunity to work with her on matters regarding my health. I've often thought if I move away from this area that I will simply have to take her with me :)

    Dr. Lester is simply the best. I came in for a procedure that I was nervous about pain and she went through all the options for me and let me choose what was the best plan, but also had backups ready. Technically she is also amazing and the entire procedure was done with zero pain. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Dr Lester was concerned about my issues and has ordered additional testing. She has a fabulous memory and I appreciate her recalling what we discussed in the past.

    I just have to prep better for UCSF appointments! They are a little different because the nurse asks you questions, then the med student comes in later and asks the same questions. By the time you see the doctor, 60 minutes in, I'm kinda tired and disoriented. I really need to bring a written list to remember to ask the doctor all I intended to. Everyone top notch! I just need to remember your system is different from private practices.

    One of the best physicians experiences I've ever had. Dr Lester not only has depth of knowledge but also flawless bedside manners.
