Dr. Hoffman is very easy to communicate to, and very patient with any questions we asked. He is very thorough about every patient's needs and how would better improve their health.
I feel very fortunate to be under Dr Hoffman’s care. He is an excellent and very caring physician.
Dr Hoffman and his fellow listened to my concerns regarding a side effect of my medication. They suggested lowering the dose, and it left me feeling positive and hopeful that I’ll be able to resolve the side effect. Dr Hoffman and his colleague are thorough, caring and thoughtful. This is extremely important to me.
Dr. Hoffman is an outstanding physician; perhaps the most knowledgeable and pragmatic of any I've seen in my many decades at Stanford Healthcare. Whether in person or by video, I am completely comfortable with his judgment and advice. Given my background in pharmacology, I believe I'm in a good position to give him an "outstanding" rating. He really warrants it.
