    Dr. Hostin was recommended to me by a friend, and I have since recommended her to others. She's caring, gentle, friendly. She always makes me feel comfortable.

    Condescending, dismissive and not informed properly on the roles of hormone therapy. Judgemental in tone and facial expressions during direct gynecological examination.

    did not call to give me a DIAGNOSIS, after i called several times. she told me via my chart which is inappropriate for a diagnosis. this didnt allow me to understand my diagnosis or ask questions. also back in september i couldnt get back on my medication refill for TWO WEEKS because she wouldn’t put the request in. i called crystal run every day and they said they kept sending her a message.

    I liked her, her demeanor, and her process of treating me. I can tell she is passionate about her career as she keeps to date with new research. She appears open to new research and treatment which was reassuring. A lot of gynecologists are dismissive. However her not reaching out with me about my test results for 2 weeks is unacceptable especially when it requires treatment and I'm in pain. Also responding at 1 am or 6 pm is unprofessional as well.
