This is a DIY job, and a good one to try even if it is your first. Few tools required, all up top and nothing under the car, and common sense rules.

The OEM plastic-bonded-aluminum lasts about 8 years like clockwork. If you are aware of the age of the hoses, and they are getting up there, this is the time to change them. If the radiator is newer, and it is the OEM or OEM style, it may not have failed. Some chain auto stores will pressure test your car in their lot to help sell you what you need. This might help you rule out or rule in the radiator.
