Dr. Howard Joel Hoffberg, MD

This was my wife second visit. My wife was in a lot of pain. Since we went to the er a week ago he said we have to wait for the result! It’s been a week with no calls from him. The doctor got the results of the x Ray the day after our visit. The staff isn’t much help either. Very disappointed with this office! I hope nobody there at that place needs a good doctor!! Wife still in pain and all the staff can say is I can make a appointment in a few weeks!!

Appauled by Dr. Hoffberg's inability to be a nice person as well as his lack of ability to treat his legitimate chronically ill patients with patients & his proving he does not care about his patients.

Dr. Hoffberg is now and always was never the type of decent doctor withany form of bedside manner. He isan ego maniac. He pressures his legiteamate pain management patients with the worst disrespect. He repeatedly pressures a lot of them int certain procedures that have very dangerous risjk factors and doesn't bat at eye when he explains the risks factors of for instance botox and Iknow a lot of people he put never ending pressure on them to have those injections after they all and I too know they are far too dangerous. All of my friends who saw him who shall remain nameless informed me and I went to use the restroon at his clinic in Owngs Mills and I too heard him say that he uses what is left over frm his parient's botox on his own weinkles as he looked at his ugly face in the mirror. That is definitely illegal. He is an accoident waiting to happen. This man deserves to lose his license and be arrested and remain behind bars and rot in jail. Thank You

I love this office, don't mind the wait. This doctor cares about people who live with chronic pain and has a crazy workload.

It is inexcusable for a patient to wait an hour or more to see Dr. Hoffberg; it is far better to see a PA, for whom the wait time is about 15 - 20 minutes.

He's worth the office wait.

Dr. Hoffberg, has been wonderful to me, I have been seeing him, and Dr. M for about 13 years, I have severe nerve damage, and have had multiple surgeries due to my imedical problems, he has always been very good to me, I know that people say that he hands out pain medicine , but he is a pain specialists, trained to deal with pain, and suffering, so of course he gives pain medicine to some patients he has many patients like myself, who don't know what they would do without him. I have read reviews about him turning people into drug addicts, , he helps people and , and he is honest, so I would assume that there are some patients that may lie about their symptoms, that is not a Dr. Creating drug addicts, that is a drug addict that will go to the ends of earth to get pain medicine , lie, cry and pretend to be in agony. Dr Hoffberg is a very smart man, I would think that he cannot discriminate, ang judge people, by appearance , and usually when someone has a drug problem, they usually… have problems with their medication, the cat peed on them, someone stole them, . There are usually signs, and I have to say, I have heard , and seen people in his office that were told that Dr Hoffberg will no longer be treating them. He is a kind and caring Dr. And i am grateful for him, do not blame the Dr, if you know an addict that is getting pain meds from any doctor, and have any proof please contact the doctors office, I am willing to bet it will be taken very seriously, and investigated, by the office, and the police when the office brings them in, which I have personally seen them do. Please do not blame the doctors, blame the addicts .

Dr hoffberg is a terrific doctor but takes a long time to see the doctor.

Hello I saw Dr Hoffberg for my first appointment with his group. I found him to be caring, concerned , extremely helpful and considerate!!

If you are looking for someone to manage drugs only he is ok, if you dont mind waiting 2 to 6 hours to be seen. Find someone else who will try to help instead of pushing meds or "extra" services on you.
