Dr. Costner took the time and care to call me, after office hours, to explain the pathology results of my biopsy, and to reassure me regarding the efficacy of her suggested treatment options. She’s an emotionally available physician. She has a confident, relaxed, encouraging bedside manner and spirit. She asks. She listens. She teaches. She respects her patient’s knowledge and sense of their own body and engages in a collaborative effort toward a best practices approach.
