Dr. Hoffman apparently retired! My 93-year-Old father was his patient- we never received notice that he was retiring. When we attempted to refill a prescription, the person who had bought his building replied- this seems illegal! So disappointed!!

I have been a patient along with my brother, mother and father. He is an amazing doctor, very compassionate, friendly and knowledgeable. He diagnoses everything without ever looking at an X-ray or blood test and he is always right. He gave my mother and father many extra years because he is the best doctor

I have been a patient of Dr. Hoffman's for about ten years and am very satisfied with the quality of care provided by Dr. Hoffman. I recently brought my 18 year old son to become a patient of Dr. Hoffman.

Dr. Hoffman has been consistently excellent in the 25 years I have been his patient.I have survived heart attack (4 way bypass) and colon cancer and lung cancer due to his prompt diagnoses and choice of cardiologist and surgeons.

For twenty five years Dr. H. H. has provided excellent care. His early detection of two cancers in conjunction with his recommended oncologist and his choice of surgeons has kept me alive and fully functioning at age 85.
