Dean M Cestari, MD

I waited nine months to see this doctor and I was very disappointed with how curt he was with me and I didn't feel that he really listened to me. He felt that he couldn't help me and he explained very briefly why he felt that was the case. He did encourage me to get a second opinion about a different issue with my eye with somebody from the same practice where he is.

She was extremely thorough as was Dr. Cestari

Dr. Cestari and his team are professional and friendly. I feel very comfortable about asking questions, and getting answers I can understand.

It was evident by the questions he asked me that he had familiarized himself with my case history based on all documentation he'd received. He was clear in his feedback and the steps I needed to take once I left. He allowed me to interject with additional information and questions when I felt it was necessary to do so. I felt listed to and that he was going to treat my health issue with care.

Professional, kind, thoughtful, responsive to all my questions and possibilities for future issues and treatments. So grateful. Thank you.

I think that Dr. Cestari was very nice and professional.

Excellent doctor and utmost confidence having him address my vision issues.

Dr. Dean Cestari is an outstanding eye doctor. He is knowledgeable, patient, and truly caring. He took the time to explain my eye condition clearly and answered all my questions in detail. I felt comfortable and confident throughout my visits.

Dr. Cestari was very caring and showed concern of my condition.

Very satisfied

I didn't expect to have an appointment as quick as I got one. Very understanding and explained every test that I had done

After my accident, I could not see very well. I had to use prism glasses and Dr. Cestari performed a great surgery on my eye and now I can see perfectly without glasses. I am thrilled with what happened.

Very personable, caring, knowledgeable, and professional.

I was here for a preop and all went well.

[redacted] Dr. Cestari was also wonderful.

Helpful and caring

[redacted] I saw the doctor and he was just as terrific. [redacted] I was very pleased with the whole experience. I was pleased with the amount of time they spent with me and my son came in after a while and they were very lovely to him. The whole experience was a good experience [redacted].

Appreciate the in depth discussion about causes of my NAION condition.

I am extremely lucky to be in the care of such an amazing doctor as Dr. Cestari.

Very professionnal and thorough

Thank you to Dr. Cestari for his gift of sight!

Dr. Cestari's Fellow, Dr. [redacted] did a splendid and thorough work-up and analysis of my vision and the vibrating visual field I had experienced earlier. I learned a lot about my visual performance. Dr. Cestari reviewed his findings and explained very clearly to me his diagnosis - the problem since having been resolved, and encouraged me to return if the problem reoccurs.

Great

Overall, I would say I had a very positive experience with this provider whom I have been meeting with since [redacted] 2021. I felt that I was listened to and was given thorough testing to determine underlying reasons for my headaches.

I think it's great, excellent service.

I so appreciated the time he spent with me to formulate a surgical plan to help my situation.

The wait times are extensive. Called in 30 minutes after my appointment time. After being examined by the fellow, I had to wait 30 minutes to see Dr. Cestari.

Had the answers. Lots of new insights.

Great!

The doctor was very professional and I felt confident with his care.

Very thorough and professional. A Pleasure!

Dr. Cestari is an excellent specialist in his field. He cares for my health and always performs the necessary exams to compare the condition of my vision, optic nerve, and cornea. He also requires evaluations for my other medical health issues. I recommend Dr. Cestari. He is very empathetic with his patients. He is a person who answers questions and concerns from patients, and he responds kindly.

Very professional, good experience overall

Dr. Cestari has taken care of me for the last five years. He's always there when I need him. I have an incurable eye problem, and he's always trying to help, listen, and understands what I'm going through. I can't thank him enough.

The Doctor paid no attention to me. Spent less than 2 minutes with me.

Dr CESTARI IS THE BEST OF THE BEST AS ARE THE INTERNS/FELLOWS HE IS TRAINING. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE HIS PATIENT. [redacted]

Excellent. I'm grateful for the care

Very Nice Dr n Staff.

I felt that all the people i interacted with were professional & competent in every way possible. Thank you

I always feel comfortable knowing, that I am getting excellent care from Dr. Cestari and his team Thank you [redacted]

Dr Cestari explains everything completely and takes his time. He is very reassuring and has a calm manner

I was definitely impressed with the knowledge, experience, and plan of treatment, and it was a very good conversation. I felt comfortable, and certainly, you know, I look forward to any time going back for another appointment, and I certainly recommend them to a lot of people I know without any eye problems. But I was definitely perfectly satisfied. I hope it will all be resolved as it should be. Thank you very much.

Dr Cestari is the Best! He is very kind and caring. Makes sure I am ok during the whole process!! Helps in any way he can!

Very consistent. caring

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Dean Cestari. He was kind, professional, and explained everything with great clarity. I've been struggling with strabismus and double vision for years, and it has affected my daily life in many difficult ways. Dr. Cestari made me feel heard, respected, and reassured during my visit. He gave me the confidence to move forward with surgery, which is now scheduled for July 30. I've been through many tough moments in life and several surgeries, but I truly feel I'm in the right hands now. I'm deeply thankful for his care, and I believe his work will have a life-changing impact on me.

The doctors were kind and willing to listen to my concerns.

The doctor was wonderful, explained my condition in a manner that I understood. [redacted]

I had entered this appointment to get some answers for my double vision. Comments from people suggested that an operation would not be a good solution. Dr Cestari and Dr [redacted] helped me to make my decision on having the operation. They informed me and answered all my questions and concerns. They also allowed me to speak to a patient that had had the operation. I was very impressed not only by the doctors, but also of the competancy of the office staff. The total experience was very positive.

They listen to me!

Evaluation was thorough and options explained thoroughly

Very knowledgeable and was able to explain in a way where we could understand

Outstanding.

The fellow that I saw first was fabulous, extremely knowledgeable, wonderful, and then when I saw Dr. Cestari and he was equally as good. Both of them couldn't have been more receptive, more professional. I loved my experience there.

Everyone was courteous, thorough and compassionate. Dr Cestari Made an extra effort himself to reschedule my surgery and was flexible and thoughtful. The staff as well.

Dr. Cestari clearly outlined possible options and thoroughly answered questions. He and his staff were great to interact with and I am excited for the next steps.

I feel like the doctor didn't even look at my chart before he walked in and he basically said the same thing from the first appointment but like it was like the first time. It was very frustrating and disappointing. [redacted]

As always, Dr. Cestari was thorough, helpful and professional. He is a credit to your organization.

As busy as Dr. Cestari is he never made me made me feel rushed. He thoroughly explained things to me, answered any questions I had.

The experience went well.

I was sent up to Imaging where I waited for 40 minutes and then told the Doc changed his mind and this not needed. Not very good!!

His residents/fellows spend the most time with you, but they have always been very respectful and very diligent. Dr. Cestari reviews their information, conducts a few tests himself, and I always feel I was truly examined.

Fantastic visit. The doctors were excellent!

This doctor is an excellent surgeon, very much listens to the patient, very caring, very compassionate and has a lovely way about him to explain everything that's going on and makes the patient feel at ease. Very happy with the surgeon and would recommend him to any of our friends who may have some kind of an eye issue that he can deal with. Thank you. Bye-bye.

I found both the doctor before the doctor [redacted] Before the doctor that I was supposed to see, the assistant doctor was very capable, and when I came to the end with Dr. Cestari, I found him very helpful also. We had a very difficult problem, and I felt very content that they were doing their best, and their best was better than I have had in the last four years. I'm planning on going back there for more appointments, and I'm looking forward to it.

Dr. Cestari is my absolute favorite eye doctor that I've been to. I've had lots of problems with my eyes my entire life. He is so kind and so calm and really takes the time to talk and explain options and what's going on. He did a surgery, [redacted] for me when a year or two ago when I was 41. I cannot explain how amazing and wonderful and how much I trust this doctor. Dr. Sastari is my favorite eye guy.

The doctor's "fellow" was very kind and not judgemental. I felt at ease during this appointment. (Your Stoneham office did the opposite.)

The doctor was very careful. He explained everything properly and I'm looking forward to seeing him again.

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ADDRESSED ALL MY CONCERNS

A regular experience there was a patient that had a dog with her my daughter is allergic to cats and dogs

The doctors were very thorough and explained everything in detail.

Excellent-the fellow was also superb

Yes, even though he was a busy man, he still took the time with me and explained everything and still have a very, very, very good appointment. Thank you.

Exceptional

I totally liked the care I received, it was very informative from start to finish.
