“Easy to schedule appointment. Plenty of parking and clean facility. Friendly and helpful front desk and staff. Dr. Lestz took the time to listen to our concerns and had excellent bedside manner. Provided us a hand out on age appropriate guidance for her age. I think we found our new pediatrician!”

Dr. Lestz really connected with my daughter and made her feel at ease. Dr Lestz's questions for both my daughter and myself and the clarity of her explanations showed that she is a caring and exceptional physician.

After needing to find a Pediatrician in a pinch due to my son’s prior doctor being constantly unavailable, I was nervous to seek out someone new. All I can say is, what a pleasant surprise! From start to finish, I was impressed with the entire experience. The facility itself is extremely clean, bright and organized. Dr. Lestz was very warm and attentive to my 5 year old son who’d been sick for the last few days. She really took the time to listen to his symptoms and give advice on how best to treat him. I’m very happy with the care my son received and I look forward to continuing on with Dr. Lestz and this group.

Dr Lestz has been my children’s pediatrician for years now and she is always thorough, professional and kind. They stay on top of paperwork and vaccine info for schools, which is super helpful. Never have to wait long and the office is bright and clean.

Perfect.
More than 1 year agoJB
Our overall experience has been great, wait times were often low. We were treated well by the front desk, by the nurses and especially our physician. Our physician does not mind spending extra time to explain /discuss various medical and infant growth related topics. I would highly recommend Dr. Lestz, especially to a new mother.
