    Dr Hoffman and his staff were very good. However, it always takes so long. Two hours seems like a long time.

    We are grateful for Dr Hoffman! He is always making sure all questions are answered and explains things very clearly. Every time my child has had a surgery he has been there, we have seen results of his practice. He is a great doctor!
