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.

Fantastic doctor who helped me navigate my weight loss journey. Thanks to Dr. Fest, I was able to lose around 20 pounds and I am so happy with this result! I genuinely recommend her to everyone I know now!

Extremely attentive and professional specialist. I was struggling with managing my diabetes, and she assisted me so well. I learned a lot of new things and after I incorporated some habits and their treatment into my life, this journey has become a lot easier!

It’s rare to find a doctor who actually takes time to talk to you instead of staring at a screen, and that's one the reasons I stick with Dr. Fest for over 2 years. She always explains things in plain words, never rushes, and I have no feeling like I am being pushed out the door. Also, appointments are actually on time, which is almost unheard of! Wish more places worked like this.

Managing hypertension and diabetes felt like an uphill battle, but this place made it simple. Finally got real answers instead of feeling like I was guessing. Best part is that appointments actually start on time and Dr. Marina is always very attentive. She took time to explain everything, so I left knowing exactly what to do instead of feeling overwhelmed. Sincerely recommend, she is the best.

I’ve been struggling with weight loss for years, but Dr. Fest gave me a plan that WORKS! She didn’t shame me or overwhelm me with impossible goals, instead, her support has made it possible to achieve small, consistent victories. I highly recommend her to anyone who feels stuck in their journey, she is the partner you want.

This is the only doctor I am super happy to recommend. Dr Fest not only helped me with my hypertension, but she's also one of the most caring doctors I've ever met. She explains everything in a way that's easy to understand which is incredible, her staff is friendly, and the office is spotless. I always have a chance to ask quaetions, and I leave every appointment knowing I'm in great hands. She is the best, I trust her completely.

Allergies used to control my life, but Dr. Fest has turned things around for me she created a personalized plan that finally works. Her attention to detail and her ability to make me feel heard are unmatched. If you’re looking for a doctor who genuinely cares and delivers results, I can’t recommend her enough.

Def recommend her, she is very professional.
Finally found a doctor who’s always on time! If your appointment is at 4 pm, you’re getting seen at 4 pm. Dr. Fest helped me manage my hypertension, and she’s a great listener who makes sure you’re comfortable with every step of the treatment.

Remember when doctors were doctors and cared about their patients and NOT about the latest yacht? Well, if you do and are looking for that kind of a doctor, then you need to look no further, Dr. Fest is all you need. Enough said, go to the office and experience it first hand...
