Recommended Doctor
Terri PUSTILNIK MD
Oncology (Cancer) - Texas Houston

Dr. Pustilnik recently performed a DaVinci Total Hysterectomy w/ BSO on me due to a pelvic mass and I'm very impressed with her expertise. The very first time I walk into her office, I was so scared not knowing what to expect & what could be my diagnosis. The moment she started talking to me, I immediately felt at ease with her, she is very professional and yet very compassionate & empathetic. I'm in the health care field myself and have worked w/ so many physicians for 25 years, I would say that Dr. P. is exceptional, ONE OF A KIND. I never felt rushed during my appts. w/ her. She has a special way of making you feel comfortable, even the morning of surgery, when she greeted me, I know that I'm in good hands. Twelve days post-op, I'm back to work, I had an excellent recovery bec. of her care & instructions. One last thing I would like to mention is her office has a calm atmosphere & you can tell that her staff loves working w/ her. I just hope & pray that there would be more Drs. like Dr. P.

I was referred to Dr. Pustilnik by my gyn dr. I was nervous just being referred to an oncologist. From her warm handshake when I first met her, she put me at ease.

I was impressed with her level of knowledge and expertise. She relays information very effectively. Dr. Pustilnik answered all of my MANY questions and my husband's too, and did so very patiently. She explains everything thoroughly.

Dr. Pustilnik has a wonderful bedside manner, which makes her an outstanding doctor. From office visits to surgery to post-op visits--her warm, caring manner shows that she truly puts people first. I am very thankful she was my doctor and I will gladly recommend her.

Being diagnosed with cancer is a life changing event,not only for yourself but family, friends. Dr. Pustilnik was available for all of us with answers to all our questions before/after surgery/chemotherapy. She took a personal interest in my case (as she does with all her patients) and I always felt at ease with her, fully informed and NEVER rushed. I have been cancer free 3 yrs. now, each follow visit with her remains informative/supportive. All the MD's in this practice are caring but I am so glad that Dr. Pustilnik is my primary MD. not only do I have a great MD but a friend.

Dr. Pustilnik has been great over the years that I've seen her. She explains everything in terms I understand and cares about how I am doing. She most recently performed a total hysterectomy on me that was necessary but very scary to me. However, she relieved all my fears and addressed all my concerns with her gentle, caring manner. Dr. Pustilnik has the best bedside manner I've encountered in years. Along with her amazing skill, this is what makes her so special.

Dr. Pustilnik is my gynecological oncologist and performed a Divinci hysterectomy for me. She has a way of being reassuring and caring while at the same time very professional. The hardest thing for me with my cancer diagnosis is the feeling of being out of control and not knowing enough information to make decisions. Dr. Pustilnik has a level of knowledge and experience, plus the ability to communicate effectively, such that I feel free to go on about my life, while she handles the medical issues. Not all doctors have left me feeling that way. She has been very inclusive with my family and friends who I bring along for support and answers all their questions as well as mine. I just feel that I am in good hands(literally and figuratively)and wish all women could have such a good experience in a very stressful time.

Dr. Pustilnik saw me quickly on referral from my gynecologist and impressed me with her credentials, her personality, her knowledge and her confidence that she could help me.

She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and is not threatened by being questioned about what will happen.

I was frightened of surgery before I consulted her, but I am not afraid now and know I am getting the best possible care.
