What Our Patients Are Saying
Dr Hoffman is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything and answer questions. I was extremely impressed with her!
I went to see him with and about my 'Special Needs' son. He was great with him and me. Personable and easy to understand. He even drew a diagram of the proposed procedure. While laying out or options and detailing the steps along with the surgery he made it clear up front and throughout that ultimately the decision is ours. If go to him and recommend him again and again.
Dr. HOFFMAN and Dr I saved my son’s life when he was 9 1/2 months old. He was diagnosed with metopic cranialstenosis They did cranial vault, reconstruction surgery, and I can never think them enough! My son is a healthy thriving 7 year old now! I will forever advocate for children to get checked if I think they may have My Son had and I always recommend Dr. HOFFMAN and Dr. I. Thank you both so much for everything. You have done over the last six years for my son and our family.
