Dr. William Hosick, MD

I agree with several other reviews here, Dr. Hosick needs to work on his manner or just retire. Very rude, talked a mile a minute and waved me off at one point. When I am ready for a knee replacement it won't be done by him. His front desk staff needs an attitude adjustment as well. Look elsewhere.

Dr. Hosick spent a total of 4 minutes with me during my appointment. He didn’t introduce himself, ordered me to move out of the chair the nurse put me in, then started grabbing my ankle and examining it without warning or explaining his actions (Some were painful). During the exam he only spoke to his assistant, then said that my ankle sprain could be worse, & I didn’t need any intervention besides RICE despite not being able to put weight on the injury. After asking about being able to walk, he asked me “well do you work?”, and then eventually agreed to give me a boot after I explained I don’t just sit down all day despite having summers off from my job. I went to receive a second opinion since I received no medical information about what was going from Dr. Hosick besides it was a minor sprain that I didn’t need to come back for. The second opinion actually indicated I have a severe ankle sprain, need to be a boot for 3-4 weeks & receive physical therapy. He is rude and unprofessional

Dr. Hosick diagnosed my hip problem and even recommended that I get a second opinion, which I did. That doctor explained that arthroscopic surgery would keep my under anesthesia for a longer period than open surgery, so I went back to Dr. Hosick to perform the tear. My recovery has gone great!

Dr. Hosick body shamed me when I met with him for a consultation on knee replacements. I desperately need two knees because I am in 24/7 pain, stage 4 bone on bone. I cannot walk. He said I need to lose 35 lbs first. I told him that I am immobile due to my knees and he said, then you need to watch what you put in your mouth. I was crying, in total pain and he said there aren’t any other options. I left there wanting to jump out a window knowing it would take me at least 3 months to lose that much weight and could not bear the pain any longer. Thankfully, I have found a much better surgeon who agrees with Harvard studies, notes my knees are not fat and will do the surgery now. Hosick has a horrible bedside manner.

"Dr" Hosick was supposed to repair my ACL. During surgery his anesthesiologist missed my spine 10 times and had to call in someone else to do the spinal. It didn't work properly and I was in agony during the entire surgery while still awake. he put a tourniquet on my leg which I had to beg to have them remove. Subsequent to the surgery I had a blood clot that put me in the hospital for 5 weeks. I have had nothing but problems since. And he didn't even fix my ACL. I actually had to get another doctor. I would recommend staying far away from this doctor.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Hosick for a while now and I’ve had nothing but positive and very professional experiences with him and his staff. One of the professional traits I admire most about Dr. Hosick is that he’s a no nonsense tell it like it is doctor who won’t sugarcoat anything and tells you honestly what is the best remedy or options for the condition you are being seen for.

After being misinformed on insurance medication coverage by Dr Hosick during office visit, costing me the full cost of visit and injection out of my pocket in December 2015, I became disappointed and disillusioned by this practice. I will not recommend this practice to any of my family and friends.

Dr. Hosick performed a total left hip replacement on me on 7 November 2016. I was up in two hours and discharged by noon the next day. I stopped taking the pain medications early and did all recommended PT exercises. I am recovered completely from the surgery. Dr. Hosick did a marvelous job. He explained the entire process, answered my every question plainly and simply, and patiently listened to any and all of my comments. A superb surgeon. I plan on having him do my right knee replacement soon.

I don't feel he applied good judgement in my situation. As a result, I'm stuck with paying for a brace that is of no use. I was told that once I tried it on, I owned it. This left me with only my doctor's advice to make a decision. The doctor should have used the information available to suggest it would not be in my best interest. My pain was only moderate and occasional and the it wouldn't restrict half movement causing the pain. He could have saved me money and earned trust.
