Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Lucky to have this great doctor in Winston Salem!
I came to know Dr. Pestana in the midst of a stressful and scary breast cancer dx in 2019. From the moment I met him, Dr. Pestana was warm, caring and attentive. He did not rush the consultation and rather took the time to explain the procedure, review alternatives, and gave me time to process the information and ask questions. I have since continued to see Dr. Pestana for different reasons and I cannot recommend him enough. His expertise and interpersonal skills are unmatched.
