Joseph Jestus, MD

My first appt with him went very well. He is upfront and honest and seems to want to help find the issues.

Very professional and explained My condition

Dr Jestus was very nice and thorough explaining my MRI results and treatment options. Answered all my questions. I’m so glad to have him as my doctor and highly recommend him and Tier 1 Institute.

First time I met him was very nice 👌

Very thorough discussion of neurological problem, treatment options and risk/ benefits. We were very comfortable with his suggestions.

Awesome Dr no bs straight to the point Awesome Awesome Awesome Couldn't ask for a better Dr if all Dr's were this great the world would be a much better place!

He was very attentive and friendly. I felt like he genuinely cared.

Been seeing him for several year for different reasons. Always has done an excellent work.

Great doc great info

Listened and explained all questions

He is a good listener, calm, and pleasant. He explains what is going on medically and whatever corrective action is needed.

Dr. Justus was very kind to my elderly mother, understood her dementia, explained her MRI results, answered my questions, and was prompt and professional.

Very thorough, took time to explain things

He is always so professional, knowledgeable.

Dr Jestus is a straight shooter, forthright and talks to me., nice to hear the plan of action and honesty is why I go to him, not always what I like to hear but tis what it tis

Dr Jestus has been a God send from before surgery throughout and post surgery. Thank you Dennis Dunn

Great job

He’s kind. He explained things to where I understood. Staff was nice as well

Didn't want to treat me. Referred to Vanderbilt Hospital.

Dr. Jestus is the best. I think the world of him.

I feel that the level of pain I am in was shoved aside due to “insurance” policy.

Very professional,but yet personal. He explained everything in detail as to where I could understand it. Also gave me options.

Dr. Jestes is a true professional. Every visit feels like I'm as important as any patient he sees. Always a pleasant experience which is rare at a Drs office. One of the most pleasant and talented medical specialists around

Always pleasant and very willing to talk to his patients

He's a great doctor!

Great doctor who cares for his patients needs.

Known him a long time,probably 18 years, he did my carpel tunnel surgery,turned out great & my partner's back surgery also went 👍 great...

He is a very smart doctor and seems to care very much about his patience and recommends surgery as a last option unlike a lot of other doctors that are just in it for the money

He didn’t even try to offer any kind of help .. told him how much I was hurting and I kinda felt Iike I was being judged but this doc !.. he just told me to take ibuprofen .. when I have literally been out of work since July !

He was excellent in explaining.

First 20 minute meeting, so how can I really comment on this doctor. Time will tell the true tale. First impression - nice guy, truth teller, he asked me more questions than I should have asked him. MRI coming up. Next meeting will provide more insight as to how I perceive this healer.

I have only had one appointment with Dr. Jestus but he seems very knowledgeable and I feel very confident that he will take care of my issues!

Great bedside manner. Knowledgeable kind.

Dr. Jestus was prompt coming into the patient room. He quickly assessed me, went over my imaging results and answered my questions. Time in office was very quick which I appreciate.

Knowledgeable, friendly. Very nice and if I need anything more on my back, will call him.

Courteous and professional

a perfect physician

Best care I've ever received. Great team. Everyone is competent and professional.

Polite and skilled... It's obvious his priority is his patients not just money

Trust him and appreciate the helpful care I have been given for many years.

What a lovely doctor. He should be cloned. Thank you for your compassion and care. I appreciate your advice, recommendations and will follow your guidance.

Very pleased with the care I received from Dr Jestus.

He did a great surgery. He has a friendly personality.

Wonderful and kind!

Explained the options and challenges with each in plain language. He made a recommendation for a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with hih rates of success to improve symptoms. We trusted him with his straight forward answers to our questions.

Dr. Jestus looked at the current and year ago MRI and explained there was a little more deterioration in the spin to not enough to consider surgery. We agreed to shots to try to relieve the pain of getting around without the use of a cane. He was attentive and answered all our questions to our satisfaction.

Very nice and professional

My first visit with Dr.Justice. 5 star rated.

Always a pleasure to visit you

Dr Jestus is the best! I’m glad I found him in Cookeville. He explains things clearly, is thorough and gives specific instructions on plan of care.

Excellent! Gave options to care in a kind simple manner.

he asked questions pertaining to my problem and he listened to my answers

Greatly cares of my condition

I saw Dr. Jestus today; he's very friendly and good at explaining and answering questions related to my injury. Everyone including staff is polite and good at getting you out quuckly.

HE IS SO NICE

He listens, counsels, and treats me with the respect due another professional.

Dr Jestus is always to the point but answers all the questions and follows through with what he says.

Dr jestus is a straight forward DR

Dr, Jestus took the time to explain why I was having the pain in my leg and foot. The next course of action is not another surgery on my back, unfortunatley I have nerve damage due to 2 prior back surgeries "not done by Dr, Jestus. He recommended speaking to someone about a stimulator, something simlar to a tens unit that's implanted in your back that shocks you. We shall see how that consultation goes.

Second appointment, first time saw his PA. Seems like a good guy - professional and knowledgeable, even cracked a smile. Surgery not recommended by him so I can't rate that aspect. I'd see him again.

Nice person.

Informative, didn’t keep me waiting long was in an out of office

Very pleasant visit. My Confidence in his responses and information regarding my condition left me feeling secure. He was very comforting knowing I was referred to "the Best" in his field. The staff who visited me in hospital discussed my condition and told me what to expect.!!! A scary event in my life....and I feel well cared for. Thank you all so very much for helping me get through this. I am truly blessed!!

Didnt show me films to explain my spinal problems.

Looks for way to avoid surgery and always listens to your issue.

Top knotch doctor. Doctor very knowledgeable and informative. Gave honest assessment and recommendation for recovery. Willing to provide notes for visit.

Awesome doc and excellent at what he does.

Very professional and knowledgeable about my condition. Would recommend Dr Jestus to anyone

Great Dr. He did surgery on me about 16 years ago, and I would want him to do it again. Very personable.

Very personable and informative.

Dr. Jestus has an amazing bed-side manner and made me as comfortable as possible during my visit.

Dr. Jestus listened to my concerns and was very honest about medical decision-making. Couldn't ask for more!

Very knowledgeable, listened to me, asked good questions and gave thorough responses to my questions.

Dr Jestus and Jacob gave me immediate attention with a correct diagnosis and scheduled me for surgery the next day and it was most successful. Thank you so much.

knows his stuff

Friendly through caring

love him, his practice has too many patients, i had to suffer 6 wks before i could get a mri. 2 brokens bones in my back. he is worth the wait.

He's the medical professional others should strive to be like, including his sincere concern , conservative approach to treatment, his talent and experience and last but not least, the efficient way he runs his office .

Exceptional visit. Straight forward and very knowledgeable

Hes a very knowledgeable doctor..its nice to FINALLY have someone listen to you and actually care about you. Just need to get my pain under control and be able to function and have quality of life again hope they can help me get my life back..since my wreck have been in agony everyday 😔 and am only 43

He seemed fine it was my first visit.I wished I'd asked for a written copy of our conversation.

Personable, clear and concise. Helped me understand very clearly what was happening to my back

Appreciate the experience and expertise.

Dr Justus listens carefully to me. He is cautious in treatment plans . . . not in a hurry to do surgery until sure it is required

I was very impressed how fast I was in and out and how nice everybody was

Dr. Jestus is great. He is thorough and just so good at answering any concerns.

Was ok. Wish he took time or really understood the pain I'm in from my whole back & neck not mostly neuropathy. I'm sure it affects me but I've had major neck & back injury and pains ways before I had diabetes to then neuropathy. He did nothing for pain. Not suggested to return later. As my back & neck has over time only gotten worse with pain plus arthritis to. He needs more compassion. But I'm sure he's a good Dr. I told him how when they went in to do my serious neck surgery how the C4 never showed on MRI it was GONE!! So how do I kno if something like this is going on again! Cause the pain is off the chart! But cause I good a hiding it he wouldn't kno! I have Avery high tolerance Level plus I block most out to survive! But at times the pain pushed or barge's threw and that's when I do need meds to help at those times esp when I need to get physical with things my pain shoots threw the roof! Disappointed but glad no surgery for now!

As always Dr Jestus explained everything so a layman could understand. No delay in seeing me

Good visit

Like him a lot. Very professional and compassionate as well

Dr Jestus is patient and always completely present with his patients. He is straight forward and doesn't want to schedule any unnecessary treatments or procedures.

Excellent ++

Very personable and no nonsense advice! Professional and responsive!

Very thorough, explains clearly, takes time for questions

very friendly and listen to me

Such a nice Pleasant Dr. I was nervous seeing a new neurosurgeon because I have had multiple back surgeries but Dr Jestus listens to your concerns. Highly recommend him …..

Very professional and easy to work with.

Gives excellent advice, discusses my problem and is always smilinga nd cheerful.

Extremely rude and dismissive

I have been seeing Dr. Jestus for about a year now. He is very patient, kind and listens to my concerns. He is an excellent doctor and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.

Good visit

Dr. Jestus is always professional, caring and relatable. I have the highest respect for him!

He was very well mannered and personable and showed and explained everything very well...would definitely recommend

Very good. Takes time to explain. Satisfied with his work.
