J'étais un jeune (15 ans )français en vacances en 1985 ce chirurgien a opéré ma fracture du fémur avec une technique obsolète (clou de Ender) car il n'a pas essayé de savoir si en France nous avions une autre technique. Résultat : douleur, attitude scoliotique, rotation externe du pied, coxartrose précoce.

After reading some of the reviews on this site I was a little apprehensive about going to see Dr. Lester. I am so glad I did and I am writing this so other people that have read the negative reviews will know that Dr. Lester has been misrepresented. He is not an insensitive and rude person and in fact is a very kind and personable, professional doctor. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise and seems happy to answer any questions. I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for a good orthopedic surgeon. His staff are always very sweet and helpful both on the phone and in person. Michelle administers shots expertly with little to no pain. Waiting time has never been more then 5 or 10 minutes.

I had knee replacement from Lester and didn't realize when he bragged about completely my surgery in 45 minutes I was going to have a nightmare of problems. Thank God I found Dr Gill to go in and do a revision to help me be more stable. I cant believe he is still performing surgeries. I've never heard 1 good comment about him as a doctor and that says alot. You only have 1 chance at a 1st surgery with great outcome so ALWAYS do background check on doctor 1st. Malinda C of Fresno

Both dr lester and dr bailey are very personable. Both my husband and i get shots for pain in our shoulders and his knees. Dr bailey is a master at giving these very painful shats. You almost cant feel a thing. Nurse michelle is also great at giving them. Dr lester did my carpel tunnel surgery and it only took 5 munuets to do and 6 weeks to heal. Now im going to get my left. One done soon. Everyone is professional and friendly. We never have any problems getting an appointment and rarely have to wait longer than 10 minuets for the doctor. We recomend these doctors to everyone.

I have never in my life been treated so bad from a orthopedic doctor Dr Kevin Lester!! I have torn meniscus in my knee plus a contusion on my bone from a slip & fall. Also arthritis from previous surgeries I am bone in bone! It takes 12 weeks for the contusion to heal but he isn't doing anything about my torn meniscus. He told me twice out load in front of staff and patients that I shouldn't be worried about anything that all I should be concerned about is starving myself!! Who tells a Paitent that! He isn't a nutritionist mind you I am only 25-30 lbs overweight!! I have never been so embarrassed and humiliated in my entire life!! Then starts laughing saying but you can't exercise right now can you!! He has the worst bedside manner I have ever met for a doctor!! He has an outrageous ego and I never get my questions asked. He walks away before I can even get my words out but I will never ever in my life see this Dr again after telling me ALL I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT IS STARVING MYSELF!!! Who does that especially being a Dr. Get a new profession if you don't like your job or treat your patients, which they are human beings, with respect and courtesy!!

Staff is always welcoming and pleasant. Especially like nurse Michelle. My husband and I are always seen promptly. Dr. Lester greets us warmly each visit, and takes time to talk about any issues we might have. I only gave 4 stars for staff because of one staff member who gave me grief. Everyone else has been wonderful.
Dr. Lester is knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
