Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring and Empathetic.
Dr. Hoekstra gave me a sense of confidence and caring. She explained what my cancer was and how it can be treated. She answered any and all questions I had. I knew I was in the best place for my health. All the people involved were kind and caring from the receptionist, nurse and her understudy.

Dr. Hoekstra guided me through the scariest time of my entire life. We surround ourselves with the finest doctors and she's certainly one. She was patient in her explanations; listened to my concerns; included my spouse; offered comfort and encouragement. She performed a total hysterectomy via DaVinci (out-patient); post-surgery included weeks of chemotherapy and radiation. One year later - I'm cancer-free and stronger than ever. She was my "quarterback" and I feel like a Super Bowl winner! I will never forget her words to me - "You can do this!"

I went through chemotherapy with Dr. Hoekstra for an advanced case of ovarian cancer in 2011. Anna Hoekstra is one of the absolute best!! One would be very lucky to have Anna as their oncologist. She along with my oncologist in Chicago saved my life. I am beyond blessed as a result to be writing this review.

Dr. Hoekstra is a fantastic surgeon I had a very large fybroid tumor that all other doctors said had to be removed through my abdomen. Dr Hoekestra removed the tumor performing the Davinci Method. She was a master only three incisions and the surgery was a complete success

She was extremely aggressive in treating my vulvar carcinoma in situ. Upon my agreement that she treat any other possible areas of concern, she proceeded to laser one quarter of my vaginal walls and my posterior vaginal introitus area. Then made an incision along the right labial minora. Silvadene cream used to dress the lasered areas. Not enough after care for the damage done and I continue to suffer the affects 8 years later!
