Dr. Hoffman and Dr. I performed my daughter’s CVR/FOA in 2018. Everything went great, and they were fantastic during the diagnostic process, the day of surgery and the follow-ups afterwards. They and their staff have always been very responsive and thorough about any questions or concerns, and they both have great bedside manner with kids and parents.
