Dr. Lester Summerfield is truly one of the finest psychologists in Southern California. In my 30 years of neurology practice, I have had the opportunity to work with many psychologists. What sets Dr. Summerfield apart is that he brings a wealth of knowledge, understanding, clarity, and compassion to patients. His therapeutic insight has rescued countless of my patients over the years. In particular, his care of individuals with traumatic brain Injury, attention deficit disorder, and various mood problems has been professional and outstanding. He is well established and trusted in our community. I have no reservations in recommending Dr Summerfield for his abilities as an child, adolescent and adult psychologist for individual and family therapy.

I feel so fortunate to be seeing Dr. Summerfield. Having had difficult times lately including the death of my Dad. I find him to be compassionate, intuitive, very intelligent, and understands me better than I do. Thankfully, he has a great sense of humor when needed. If you don’t really want to know, don’t ask – he is a compelling straight talker with excellent advice. I don’t get away with much. Anyone who is about to see him is very lucky.

When I graduated from my Ob/Gyn residency and came to private practice, back in 1983, it wasn’t long before I needed to find someone to send my patients to for psychological care/emotional therapy. The excellence of a physicians’ referrals are a clear reflection of their own office, so this is done with due regard.

Dr. Lester Summerfield was recommended to me by another professional, and so I scheduled a meeting with him at once. My correct first impression was that Lester is a no-holds-barred, honest and straight-forward psychologist. He is a terrific listener and is able to work through complex issues gently, though with complete honesty.

He is a trustworthy, honest, caring, intuitive, and brilliant psychologist. I have used him as the primary referral source for my patients for almost 20 years, and I have always been deeply impressed by his care and insight.
