It was my first appointment with Dr. Lester. He has an extremely calm bedside manner (which is huge if you're nervous), every single one of his team members are very pleasant and nice, and loved to see that they were using tablets to take information. Glad to see technology finally making its way into the health care industry. Dr. Lester even reduced his initial consult fee because I'm currently paying out of pocket. Look forward to having him as my dermatologist.

I have been seeing Dr. Lester & Aliza for skin checks for the last year and a half. I can honestly say without exaggeration that this is the best doctor's office I've ever been to.
