Dr Holstein,
August 23, 2026Theresa T.Verified patient
First the week before my appointment they called to reschedule, I accepted the appointment. Then the day before the appointment they called at 4:45, and left a message for me to call them(no explanation as to what they were calling about). I called the next morning and no one knew why I was called, and the person that called me was not available.
When I got to my appointment(early as requested) I signed in with the desk person. I sat down and waited, 45 minutes after my appointment time I was called back to see the doctor. He came in a few minutes later and spent less than 5 minutes with me. He decided in that amount of time that I have sleep apnea, this is not what I came to the appointment for. So I am very disappointed with the care that I received.

The office is bright and clean. The staff is friendly, well-informed and helpful. Scheduling online was easy. Dr. Hockstein listened to my concerns - non-judgmentally - was kind, clear and took care of me professionally and efficiently. I left with my issue fixed, feeling better. I would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend him.

Dr's expertise well evident and addressed issues fully, providing full care & recommendations to solve my issues & an open invitation to return if more issues occure. Problem that exists is that the Dr is sooner booked

Today was one of my better visits. Waited a half hour in the waiting room. Dr. Hockstein came quickly into my room. He was very pleasant and said my nose was great after two surgery's. He took very good care of me.

Best doctor I have ever experienced. His easy going manner immediately make you feel at ease. I was there to investigate a growth in my mouth. He examined in, said he felt it was a benign growth, but said he would remove it and send it out for pathology and let me know within a week. As a 3 time cancer survivor that made me feel very at ease.

It was ok time spent trying to find a parking spot walking to the office and doing the paper work was much longer than seeing the Dr. ??
January 21, 2026Melford M.Verified patient
The office and clinical staff were pleasant, professional, and efficient. Dr. Hockstein was knowledgeable, pleasant, and engaged, he inspired confidence.
He listened, reviewed my medical history, and answered my questions. A plan for further evaluation and care was established and I left the appointment feeling that I had received expert evaluation and care by a physician and staff who cared about me and my specific health issues.
