He came in and his bed side manners seemed very absent, he was vary arrogant and treated me like I am an idiot and treated me like I was wasting his time, it was Dr. Barlow who sent me to see him, it was not my idea.

MORAN EYE CENTER
Dr Hoffman was exceptional in the care provided as was/is his staff. I paste here what I sent to Dr. Hoffman's office the day following my medical procedure. 'Dr Hoffman: I'm happy to report that there has been marked improvement in my forward gaze. I would say I'm around 80% there right now. As I look hard left my vision is clean. I'm still a bit wobbly as I walk but am confident I'll have my sea legs before long. I'm comfortable and using the eye drops as directed. Thank you for your care particularly during our darning and mending efforts yesterday. It's been a long three year sojourn. We'll see you in a couple of weeks.'
