Dr Mester spent appropriate time with me and was not rushed. She is a fabulous physician. She was also mentoring a new hire PA
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/9/2026
Still waiting on what to do w blotch on my face. She said 3-5 days. It's only getting worse
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/5/2026
Very rushed appt, did not feel like I was being adequately listened to, did not give good explanation of thought process regarding why I was still sick after 2 weeks, seemed put out by follow up questions that delayed the ending of my appt. Disappointing experience since I had previously seen her before and had a positive experience
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/27/2025
Brought a list to discuss and she did not even take the time, stopped me short from finishing and hurried the entire appointment. Went so far as to say "we talked about enough but yet offered no help except referencing that a specialist might be able to help me. Plus never ordered my psa test? Won't see her again!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/20/2025
Dr. Mester was excellent. Very attentive!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/14/2025
Dr. Mester Is a caring physician. She was pleasant,knowledgeable and thorough in answering all my questions. I was confused about interpreting my lab test results. She took time and patience explaining to me how to read and understand them. I also appreciated Dr. Mester's professionalism and understanding, as I was not an easy patient to deal with. She is to be commended.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/5/2025
Dr. Mester is genuinely kind, helpful and professional.

Mr Mester goes above and beyond. She is a kind and caring person. She is a treasure that should truly be appreciated. I know I appreciate her kindness and concern

My family doctor is great
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/24/2025
Physician was kind but uncertain of symptoms. Did not initiate any workup prior to referral out to specialist. I did have labs in July, however my condition had changed since then.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/24/2025
Extremely happy with Dr Mester's care and professionalism. She is obviously well educated. I feel very comfortable and satisfied with her care.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/22/2025
Dr. Mester was rude, condescending, and "out of time for questions". I'm very proud that I advocated for myself and insisted she look at my rashes (which turned out to be a [...] diagnosis). [...]

I trust my life with Dr. Mester. She always listens and gives me as much time as I need. She explains everything thoroughly. She is a benefit to Geisinger and you should be happy to have her
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/3/2025
Dr. Mester is the first woman doctor I've had in my lifetime. Very happy I chose her as my PCP. Dr. Mester is very thorough in the assessment of my health and medical needs. She answers all my questions. She explains the different medications I am on and adjusts them accordingly. Any type of testing I may need She takes the time to explain them and why I need to have the tests done. We discuss my health and medical needs together. I am always given the option of trying something new or decli ing until another time. Dr. Mester never tries to hurry you out of a visit. She listens and she cares....

Excellent
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/25/2025
She literally asked my son WHY AM I SEEING YOU? He wasn't her patient. Unfortunately his original appointment was rescheduled with her. This was not his decision. He said she didn't let him even really taught and when he did she had no interest
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/20/2025
The doctor was a bit rushed but stopped and spent the proper time with me after I told her I needed a diagnosis and proper plan of care, which I wasn't receiving.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/13/2025
I have every confidence of my treatment by Doctor Mester.
