      The surgery Dr. Hoffman performed resulted in full recovery of my depth perception. That is a huge asset to my future safety É not to mention the improvement to my quality of life! Dr. Hoffman is personable, caring, courteous, and takes a genuine interest in others. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman and all the medical staff associated with University of Utah Health. I would choose them above all other providers I have used in my lifetime.
