    Unlike other gynecologists I’ve seen at Crystal Run she did listen to my concerns & took it seriously instead of just trying to prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution.

    I had something bothering me and she repeatedly said “it’s not bothering you, right?” Because it was small, I said it was here and there and I had went to get it checked out and wasn’t given any information on it and it wasn’t written in her notes. I feel dismissed and disregarded and not informed.

    Dr Hostin is not only a very good doctor, she is an awesome human being. She did not choose a career, she answered her calling. She embraced it with all the love and care she provides to her patient. I am talking based on my visits with her. I can assume that it is the same for all her patients. You cannot say that she is a physician who does not care. She is professional and very thorough. She discusses things with you, gives you clear explanations and truly wants to see her patient doing well. She is patient and she listens. She does not dismiss the patient or ignore her say. Her bedside manners are excellent. She is knowledgeable and takes the time to address the patient’s issues and suggests appropriate and safe treatment for the patient . You feel comfortable with her and you trust her medical judgment. Dr Hostin is truly for the patient, works for the patient’s well being and I do not hesitate to say that she is a class A++ physician; therefore rating her here 10+ without hesitation. This is justified. She is a plus for the medical establishment. There are those who choose a career and those who answer the calling. Thank you Dr Hostin for making the difference.

    Very competent provider, but perhaps overloaded. She was able to address 95% of my concerns and additional ones that were appropriate for my demographic. However it took more than a week to be prescribed medication after having to follow up. Upon providing the prescription(s) she left one out that we specifically discussed. I ended up ordering it off of amazon medical instead. Seems to me like a simple mistake and just overlooked/forgotten.
