My experience was nothing short of amazing, each and every visit! I met Dr. Lester because of an error with another dentist....naturally I was a bit apprehensive...from the minute I walked in the door, my fears were calmed! Gloria is fabulous, and Natasha and Allessio were very warm and welcoming, always reassured me that things were going well, and I was "doing great" :) I drive 2 hours for each visit, I know I am in the BEST CARE! Dr. Lester even opened her office for me on her day off, as she knew I needed to be seen...complete and total care, calming and thoughtful....highly recommend !!

Third times a charm. Dr Lester is the charm! My son had been having gum problems two others couldn't identify. Dr Lester spent the time needed, developed the treatment plan. My son is relieved someone finally could help him! THANK YOU!!

I just finished my second procedure at Perio Health. I have to admit the thought of having a deep cleaning/root planing procedure terrified me. Yet, the staff was awesome, especially Alessio who did the procedure. Alessio was professional, quick and above all gentle, which went a long was in alleviating my anxiety.

I was informed at my last dental prophylaxis and checkup that I may have some bone loss in specific areas of my mouth. I made and appointment with Dr. Mary Ann Lester. I was seated promptly and given a thorough examination by Dr. Lester and she informed me of my treatment options, asked me if I had any questions, and answered them all to my satisfaction. This was no surprise to me, as I am a general dentist who has been referring to Dr. Lester for years. My experience with her and her office staff validated these years of trust. A great experience with a great doctor and caring staff!

I have had a lot of dental procedures in my life, with many extractions, root canals., etc., etc., I felt so comfortable and at ease as I did there. Thank you Dr. Lester for your compassion and love. You are top notch!

When one has any kind of oral procedure carried out with a scalpel, and don't even need an Advil that night after the anesthetic wears off, KUDOs to the dentist!

Dr Lester and her staff are very professional. They are friendly and welcoming. This was my first visit since COVID 19 and the procedures they have in place before entering and after you enter the office are appropriate for the clients and staffs safety.
