Dr. Koester is truly one of a kind. We needed to change pediatricians due to several reasons. We explored options and eventually went with my OB’s recommendation who was Dr. Koesters. Our oldest was the one we had to move over and our newborn twins were preemies and she had us come in off hours to be sure all was good on the first day we brought them home. They are now 6 and we all love and trust her completely. There was also a divorce a few years ago and she really helped so much. She relayed her own experience, checked in with both of us to check on how we were. She gave amazing advice. She also helped us navigate the challenges with young kids and how we could effectively help them through the process. As I saw in another review she truly cares about the child’s whole well-being and is aware (and NEVER forgets) of all the things that impact them. I have and will always recommend her to anyone. Her nurse Erin is also fabulous. Any questions we call in are answered quickly, calls returned and follow up with any illnesses. I could keep gushing but honestly don’t hesitate to choose her as your pediatrician!!!

I am very grateful for Dr. Koesters. She has been my daughters pediatrician for 10 years and is not just concerned with her physical health but also her growth as a young woman. She is a caring, thoughtful and an experienced doctor. I highly recommend her. She is an important part of my daughter’s life.

She is the sweetest. My last appointment with her she cried because I was moving on to an adult doctor. Sure, I remember waiting, but it was worth it because she was so helpful and understanding.

We have been seeing Dr. Koesters for the last year (a total of 10 appointments). Dr. Koesters has a warm, friendly, and caring personality. However, we have never been seen on time and our average wait time is over 30 minutes. The longest we waited was 1 hour and 45 minutes after our scheduled appointment time. At our last appointment, we were the first patient of the day and Dr. Koesters was still 35 minutes late. If you don't mind waiting then I would recommend her, but there are several other pediatricians in the Columbus area that would be worth seeing over Dr. Koesters.

Dr. Koesters is a wonderful pediatrician. She is knowledgeable about her field of pediatrics and has always shown respect and concern for my son who has been with her for nearly 10 years. She takes interest not only in his health, but also what he is doing in school, his social and emotional well-being, and remembers a lot about him from the previous year. She is patient and kind. Our wait time may be a little beyond the appt. time but that is because Dr. Koesters listens to her patients and does not rush them. I have recommended her to many of my friends and some were able to get in while she was accepting new patients. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about her. She is awesome.

Dr. Koesters has been our pediatrician since my daughter was born 3 years ago. She's a very warm and caring person and best of all, I think she's a very knowledgeable doctor. She seems to keep up on the latest research and I feel confident in her medical opinions.

This doctor has cared for my family for over 3 years. I liked her at 1st but have quickly learned she is two faced and when she says she has your childs best interest at heart, thats a lie. She is judgemental, and a liar.

My daughter was having a high temp for a few days so I took her in. Was told it was probably a virus but if she didn't get better, bring her back in. So come July 5, she still wasn't much better. I called and they got us in that day at 10:45, even though they were closed for the holiday. She has always seemed to truly care about my daughter. I find it crazy that others had such bad visits... hard to believe this is the same dr!

We had a terrible experience one day with this doctor when she was on call. I'm not sure if we caught her on a bad day or what the issue was. She was extremely rude over what turned out to be a very legitimate medical concern. My child was admitted later on the same day to Children's after she basically brushed me off. I am glad I followed my instincts in this case and not hers.
