Patient Reviews
Jul 15, 2021
I have been seeing Dr. Bestoso every three months for the past three years due to my lupus nephritis. He is very thorough and caring and spends quite a bit of time reviewing all options for treatment. He always writes down a summary of our meeting and his main points for me to follow and hands it to me to take with me (in addition to writing up thorough notes in my record). I dread thinking of the day he retires as he is an excellent doctor!
