Saw Dr Fester for an impinged shoulder. He gave me a measured diagnosis with several options of care. He suggested a hydrocortisone shot and PT. After 4 weeks of PT, the shoulder feels like new. I really appreciated that he included my desires in his considerations for how to deal with my injury. I would recommend him to anyone with joint injuries.

FANTASTIC! Friendly, knowledgeable, available and thorough! Got me in for surgery ASAP and even changed the date to sooner to help me out with work. Got me in and out. He was also available to speak on the phone with post surgery.

I went there with both of my sons, one with knee and the other shoulder. He misdiagnosed both of them. The one with the shoulder injury had surgery with Dr Fester and was still having issues and come to find out it was the wrong surgery. He had to have another surgery months later, obviously with someone else. My son with the knee issue, he had two fractures and a torn meniscus that went unnoticed. We dealt with him and the injury for months and just like my one son, he was totally wrong a

I have yet to have have an appointment with Dr. Fester which hasn’t been rescheduled. Always 1-3 weeks later. One of which I had to go to his Urbana office or wait a month. And when I do finally get to see him, I don’t feel like a patient, more of an inconvenience to him. I feel very rushed and he doesn’t seem to listen to my concerns. I honestly don’t know how he justifies billing my insurance, he doesn’t do anything but waste my time.

Misdiagnosed my son with a strained muscle in his lower back. ignored our request for an MRI. After 15 visits of PT and no improvement, we finally were ordered an MRI to discover he didn't know what was wrong. Wasted $600 in PT appointments. He wanted to refer us to someone in Dayton and we asked for a referral to OSU. After not hearing from his office for 2 weeks, we went to Children's who ordered a bone scan to discover a stress fracture. Now my son is out another 2 months to rest from the PT

My 14-year old daughter had an appointment with Dr. Fester in October of 2014. He was excellent in speaking with and listening to us. He is very attentive and informative and is great at explaining his evaluation and diagnosis. His office is on the North side of Springfield, and it was a 50 mile roundtrip for us, but the drive was well worth it. I highly recommend him.
