Dr. Hastik is one of a kind. I can not recommend her highly enough. She is brilliant and caring and treats each patient as an individual. She is intuitive and builds relationships over time. She has vast experience with conventional approaches, but is also not afraid to think out of the box. We feel very lucky to have found her.

I have been seeing this Dr on and off for over ten years. She was the one to diagnose my thyroid condition and saved my life. Others said I had post party depression and didn't even bother listening to what I said. She figured out the issue in two visits. I appreciate what Dr Hastik does. She cares about her patients.

This "doctor" is extremely RUDE!! - Please save your time and money and schedule with another psychiatrist who is actually professional!
While I am not a patient of hers, I work at a doctor's office and I had the awful awful "pleasure" of corresponding with this woman. Upon requesting records for a patient, she told me that we were "wasting her time". Pretty much the whole conversation consisted of her talking over me and ultimately hanging up on me. Again, not what I expected from a professional. It makes sense why I've come across such negative reviews about this woman. AWFUL!

I was referred to this physician from my primary care doctor for bipolar depression. The doctor seemed disheveled and tired; not engaged--almost like the session was a formality. She almost seemed distracted. Not as I would have expected for a first time work up. Expense: high; . she spent a fair amount of time with me for my first evaluation but it didn't seem productive.. Office was clean, waiting time was short. Parking expensive and not user friendly since office is downtown. I am going to get a second opinion.
