Dr. Celesters is a doctor who is concerned about your health and any new problems that have developed since the last visit. Always includes me in the kind of treatment or test that I need.

Dr. Celestre is fantastic and compassionate. My tailored and individual care is important to me. He listens to all of my concerns and is able to explain to me my plan of care in detail. I never feel rushed or dismissed

Felt my Dr.has not considered other options such as ALS. I'm not a Hypochondriac. But when increasing list of worsening conditions were given to my Doctor his response echoed his Nurses except for the indication of back and leg pain.

Dr. Celestre is the absolute best. He shows you respect beyond what any other Dr has in my past. He listens, he answers your questions in terms you can understand and he goes through your test results and makes sure you have the information you need before making decisions. He actually without any exaggeration saved my life.
