Dr.Jestus and his staff were really nice.
Very .knowlegable and explaing technical termology
He's thorough, he listens and he is a very nice man.
Very personable and through. He needed a name tag or needed to introduce himself. I thought he was a technician or a nurse! Sorry
He’s always upfront and honest with me even if it’s not what I want to hear.
Very professional
Very professional listened well to my concerns and my situation seem truly concerned and interested in trying to help me the best way possible
He is a very competent doctor/surgeon. Very understanding too.
He was very nice, listened to my neck and shoulder issues, and what I had done to work through the pain. He had given me some tests to see my strength and let me know by tge MRI results what the issue really was. I listened to all the options and asked several questions per options offered and we came up with a plan that best meets my goals. I am confident that I am getting to tge bottom of my pain and will visit Dr Jestus in a month to see how I am progressing.
Great staff and personable Dr. I appreciate the attention to detail.
