    Dr. Hoffman has a wonderful bedside manner. He listens really well. His staff checked on me after my surgery. He appears very caring.

    The visit was a waste of time. It lasted maybe 5 minutes. He told me the same thing he told me in our telehealth visit. I drove 2.5 hours for nothing.

    Dr Hoffman is very knowledgable, however I sometime get a sense he is in a hurry. I had received a different level of concern from a family doctor that had me upset, and though he put my mind at ease that the information wasn't emergency I got more of a sense it also wasn't that important and not a big deal. It was reassuring to hear but also a sense of unconcern.

      The physician helped me understand my diagnosis by putting it into simple terms as well as common knowledge.

      Dr. Mark Hoffman is the best doctor! Before him, I went to many doctors for endometriosis. I was dismissed and told that there was nothing wrong. When I met Dr. Hoffman, he was the kindest doctor. I was already nervous, but time and time again, he has proven to be a fantastic doctor, and I couldn't be more thankful!

      Dr. Hoffman was great about helping me find a treatment option for PCOS. I am relieved to have a plan as I move forward after surgery.

      I've been trying to get help for my endometriosis for YEARS (I've had severe pain and stomach issues since I've been an adolescent.) Dr. Hoffman is the first doctor to even offer a laparoscopy for accurate diagnosis and treatment. I appreciate it very much to have this opportunity. I am a mental health therapist with a Masters of Education. In the past, I was not listened to and told it was anxiety related most of the time. Dr. Hoffman never treated me like I'm being a neurotic woman. That's so rare. It should be the standard, but it's rare sadly. I've nothing but good things to say about him.
