Dr. Hoffman is professional and a straight shooter. I went for my 1 year follow up visit today. He gave me information today that no one had shared with me before. And he gave me a few alternatives to address my lingering issue. I was very pleased to confer with him.

Dr Hoffman reviewed the CT Scan of my artificial left knee and provided a surgical approach for a partial revision later this year. I'm very pleased and confident with his recommendation.

I had a unsuccessful appointment with this provider which I summarize the meeting to be spurious and mendacious at best. Dustin Hoffman didn't ask about any symptoms, problems, complications, or experiences I was having. In fact, the only thing he was focused on was being able to bill my insurance company for an X-ray even after he agreed with me that knee images more times than not come back as normal. Prior to the appointment I shared with his scheduler I have an MRI summary with my PCP, but sadly his office didn't take the initiative to ask for said reports to be sent prior to the appointment resulting in me driving 2 hours round trip and not receiving the gel injections that I was there for.

Dr. Hoffman is outstanding! I underwent total hip replacement. His explanations of options and explanations prior to surgery were thorough as well as informative. I particularly was impressed with his system of daily text messages which described the recovery process completely. They included not only where I should be in that process but included motivational messages. Hands down, my go to doc should I need the other hip or a knee replacement!
