Eric Lescault Review

COASTAL REGION PATIENT

Dr. Lescault was very nice and professional. He knew immediately what my problem was. I’ve thought for a long time I would require a hip replacement as the pain was so intense. Dr. Lescault determined quickly it was bursitis. Administered a shot of cortisone with lidocaine. I love this doctor. I am much better. Wonderful staff, quick diagnosis and great treatment. Thank you, Dr. Lescault. You are wonderful.
