I had an amazing experience with Dr. Jester. She was probably the best provider that I've seen in the Orlando Health System, next to Dr. Solomon, so, I appreciate the fact that Dr. Solomon passed her patience on to her when she left the organization. I also had a wonderful experience with my MA and unfortunately. I cannot remember her name, but she was absolutely wonderful. The entire office staff was great and very helpful. I have no complaints at all. Thank you for actually genuinely caring about your patience.

Everyone in the office was nice, knowledgeable, very kind, and made me feel comfortable. My doctor vanished...is no longer there with the practice. So, I was actually seeing a new doctor, Dr. Jester. She was wonderful, knowledgeable, helpful, and made me feel very comfortable being there and able to discuss things with her. I will definitely drive an hour to go see her again. Thank you.

Sierra the LPN made me feel so comfortable, she was extremely helpful. I had trouble seeing the paper work and she took her time to help me fill it out. Dr. Jester was extremely pleasant and spent the time to answer my questions and discuss the bloodwork. I am very happy I found them.
