I have been a patient of Dr. Hoffman for 10 years and my wife for over 18 years. He is the best I have ever seen in his field and I am very happy with his advise and analysis.

I returned to the Sleep Center after a number of years of not using my C pap machine. I requested a prescription for Provent which Dr. Hoffman prescribed but not before explaining to me in a very detailed and understandable manner the severity of my sleep apnea. I tried the Provent and although much easier to adjust to, it did not work for me. Based on my previous conversation with Dr. Hoffman I returned to using the C pap machine, and although I do not like it, I having been using it daily. Unlike the previous physician I saw at the Sleep Center, Dr. Hoffman took the time to explain the risks associated with sleep apnea and the consequences of not treating it appropriately. I have added him to my list of the top 5 physicians I have seen, as an adult, the past 45 years. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Hoffman is exceptional, as well as being brillant. Both my husband and I have been his patients for many years. He spends quality time with each of his patients. Everything is explained, unlike so many doctors today. There is very little waiting time from start to finish. His staff is ex excellemt, friendly and very hard working. Jackie is irreplaceable.

The office, the doctor and his staff are all 5 star, which makes for excellent medical care. Prior to my appointment I could barely function, often returning for a nap during the day. Today I am able to function like the living again. Thank you Dr. Hoffman for my new life.
