William F Lestini, MD

My experience with Dr. Lestini and everyone in his office was outstanding. I am in my 70’s and have been in any number of physicians’ offices over the years, and have seen several physicians. He and his staff are among the best.
From my very first visit, where the receptionist (at the time, it was a woman who was a senior citizen, herself), to the x-​ray technician, I knew I was at the right place. Dr. Lestini seemed fully present to me as I told him about my back problems. He listened and responded. He told me my options. Because of my age and previous back surgery (by another surgeon) he recommended what was best for me.
His visit in the pre-​op room, his reassurance, his visits to my hospital room (I can still see him sitting in a chair near my bed, sipping coffee, and just being with me – just as a relative or friend would do.) were just what I needed in a medical professional. In the post op visit, he stressed the importance of physical therapy. I followed his advice, and strictly followed it. Today, I am fine.
When I observe others in pain while walking, I think, «Why?» Often times I tell them about the relief I received from what Dr. Lestini did for me. I can stand for 5 hours at work without a break, can walk 4 miles, take water aerobics and can move at the same rate of those younger than I, can bend over and touch my toes, etc. I could do none of these activities prior to my surgery.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr. Lestini.
