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.

Why I left Dr. Hochster
A patient for four years. He didn't dn't care to ask any questions about my biggest health problem, walking. Just found out I need a hip replacement. One visit to a specialist, not referred by him. Obviously. Nice guy, unconcerned doctor.

Best to get a second opinion because motivation to diagnose is obviously based on potential revenue. They practice predatory billing, check with your insurance before paying any bill from this doctor!

He definitely listens to what you have to say. Will get you checked and will give you only the medications you need. This was great because I don't like medications. He will only prescribe them if they are truly needed.
