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.

Dr. Mester is very caring and empathetic. He does not rush you and takes time to address and explain any questions or concerns. He actually treats you as an individual and not just another patient, which is very refreshing, especially in today’s overwhelmed healthcare environment. I have lots of respect, admiration and appreciation for Dr. Mester as both a good person and excellent doctor.

Saw another person in his office, not Dr. Mester. The person was very polite and to the point . Ask when I wanted to visit again like 6 or 12 months. Next visit in 6 months.

Our visit was very good and informative. My husband has been with Bay Area Cardiology for many years and they've always taken good care of him and we trust Dr. Mester for his care. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and keep us informed of tests and appointments.
