Dr. Hoover has been my doctor for 15 years and in my opinion, the best doctor I have ever seen. He has treated everything from skin issues that my even my dermatologist could not diagnosis to season allergies to helping me work through the anxiety and major depressive disorder that has plagued me my entire life. I can honestly tell this doctor anything and if I could just see him for everything, I would.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hoover’s for 11 years and I have nothing but positive things to say. He is direct and honest and does not say just what patients want to hear. You can talk to him about ANYTHING and he will do his best to treat whatever your symptoms are.

Been my doctor for 8yrs and never been better. His knowledge and understanding of patient needs are incredible. He is not a doctor with a chip on his shoulder and consider him a friend who I trust. I would recommend him to a friend or family member without a second thought.

Dr. Hoover has been my doc for about 20 years. Not only has he saved my life but he is my most learned friend. His calm demeanor during my toughest times has not only proven to me his knowledge but also his ability to give me courage and direct me in the way which I must go. He is priceless and a resource that this community can not replace! T.G.

I've been a patient of his for almost 15 years. He is professional, caring and truly interested in the total wellbeing of his patients, not just the problem you go to see him with.
