Dr. Richard A Hostin, MD

Dr Hostin was fantastic. He answered all of my questions. He performed surgery on my back. I am no longer in any pain and would recommend him to anyone with back pain.

Well worth the visit. Dr Hostin took the time to walk me through my options, preventive care and how to mitigate risk. Not your usual doctors visit of whisking you in and out but actually sat and talked with me. The conversation alone was well worth the price of the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Hostin to anyone!

Dr Hostin took the time to sit with me to go over my results and how to mitigate risk going forward. It for sure was not your standard doctors visit where they whisk you in and out. He took the time to talk to me, made sure I understood my options and preventive care. Just the conversation we had was well worth the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Hostin.

Would not let anyone else touch my back. Gave me my life back!

Worst surgical experience ever! Dr. Hostin did ALIF in 2017. Totally inadequate pain control in hospital. After about 5 months of recovery, I was greatly improved, but in another few months, symptoms returned even worse. Now seeking surgery in Dr. Lenke's office in NYC Columbia

Dr. Hostin performed my Scoliosis surgery 8 years ago (in 2010) After having my 3 sons (one son and 11 months later, twin boys) I was diagnosed with Adult Scoloisis. This condition worsened when I was in my mid to late 40’s. Even standing and walking was painful. My back looked deformed with a hump on the right side. Breathing became difficult. I was in constant pain... I saw numerous Doctors and specialists in California- none of them recommended surgery. They had me do physical therapy-which did nothing for me. I’m so glad I went to BAYLOR Scoloisis Center, Dr. Hostin and the entire team/staff there are incredible. 8 years after my Spinal Fusion Surgery and I’m still doing great. My scar is barely visible. I run 3-6 miles almost everyday and have been for years. 5k’s and half marathons. If I hadn’t had the surgery, no doubt I’d be in a wheelchair. I am so very thankful for Dr. Hostin, he made my life normal again, after suffering for years with pain. Marcy Lilley

Dr Hostin maybe a good doctor but his staff has a lot this needs improvement Dr Hostin was to have his staff order a Melogram for me After waiting for a week with no call back i called Dr Hostin’s office and told that the order for the melogram was lost in the office but the would get right into. To make a long story next Monday will be three weeks and have not received a call to set an appointment Now I am having second thoughts about having the surgery done by his office and concerns and thinking about going to New York and having the surgery by Dr. Lenke, his office has always been very recived and never taking more than one day to return my calls. Along with being a great the doctors Dr Lenke staff is nothing short of fantastic I wish I could say the same about Dr Hostin’s Staff but I cannot

I was referred to Dr. Hostin by a friend. I have had longstanding symptoms. I found Dr. Hostin to be attentive and caring. He allowed me to participate in my treatment plan. He answered my questions. So far so good! I am grateful to my friend for the referral. I would definitely refer Dr. Hostin and his office to all of my family and friends.

Dr. Hostin is a great doctor with a conservative approach and does not jump into surgery if not necessary. Staff is nice and prompt.

A very skillful surgeon who has excellent staff The hospital care was the I have ever had
