    Dr. Rester spent less than five minutes with me as a new patient. I had an echocardiogram ($996 it will cost me) and an EKG, but he did not review the results with me. He also said he would refer me to a cardiologist who specializes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. At checkout, I was told the referred appointment would be scheduled, but instead I was told the referral would be sent through MyChart. When I logged in, I was instructed to choose from 72 cardiologists on my own. This was frustrating and extremely unorganized. I plan to return to St. Francis for care, even though they are out of network, and pay out of pocket.

    Dr. Rester went above and beyond Not only to give me my options and help me make an educated decision on what was best to do in my situation, but he also tools his time and knowledge to help me with a very concerning bill I had received (in error) and told me exactly what to do to straighten it out. I've never had a doctor go to bat like that for me before, I have already recommended him to two people just because of his compassion and care he had for me as a first time patient. VERY PLEASED AND IMPRESSED!!

    My only concern is I completed the e-check in process, only to be met with questions of my current medications and medical history from the nurse before seeing Dr. Rester. She showed us that the information was not there, even though information was out in by me in MyChart. Other than that, all staff, and especially Dr. Rester, were kind, helpful, and thorough. Looking forward to further care with this team!!

    The doctor said he wanted to see me again in seven weeks. However, there was no appointment available until two months after that, which I really find unacceptable. So even though he wanted to see me in seven weeks, my next appointment is for March.

    I was very well taken care of by Dr Rester. He knew my history, was very thorough with his assessment, recommendation and follow-up suggestions. It was a fantastic experience. I feel compelled to mention (I am a RN, PhD) that parking a patient on a gurney - had who was been transported from a facility in the middle of the waiting room, who was confused. I only observed the transporters and no other accompanying people. This was both awkward and very disrespectful to him and the rest of the patients in the waiting room. I was very surprised to see and experience this. I know this is a busy office, however hope that in the future a different accommodation can be made for people in this condition. Thank you.

    Make it easier to get a timely appointment. I believe in the coming year the office will contact me far enough in advance so I can get an appointment before my current prescription expires. If so, that should solve the issue I had this year.

I brought myself there and called for myself when my PCP did not want me to go. She didn't feel the need to do so. Dr. Rester took me straight in, got everything done in a very quick, timely matter.
