Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Hoffman and staff are wonderful!
Dr. Hoffman came highly recommended from a friend. He did not disappoint. I was having trouble wearing contact lenses. I could no longer read without readers and my distance vision wasn’t clear. I had seen another doctor who insisted my contact lens prescription was correct. Dr. Hoffman was patient, knowledgeable, and fixed my problem. Whenever I called the office with a question, his wonderful receptionist (his wife) put Dr. Hoffman on the phone and he answered my question immediately. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman.

Because of the pandemic, I haven't been to an eye doctor in a long time. I came across doctor Hoffman's name through a friend and then I realized that he accepts my medical insurance. He is very professional and very knowledgeable. I like that it's a one stop shop because I can buy my glasses there too. Even though they were a little pricey and I didn't want to go that high, I know that they're going to be good. That's the part of this it matters most. Read I got great care.

I have been a patient for over 20 years and Dr. Hoffman has been an outstanding doctor. I have had many eye problems including 3 surgeries and although he did not perform the surgeries he guided me every step of the way, in all cases recommending other outstanding doctors. His office manager (his wife) and all the office staff are all caring and professional. I can recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Hoffman is tremendously knowledgeable. I have always very pleased with the thoroughness of his exams, as well as the eyeglass prescriptions he writes for me.

I met with the Chairman of the Glaucoma Dept. at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia to get his opinion re: another Glaucoma Specialist's recommendation that I have Glaucoma related surgery. In the course of the conversation, the Doctor said that thanks to Dr. Hoffman, my Glaucoma was caught at a very early stage and treatment was started immediately. As a result, the progression of my Glaucoma is very slow and Dr. Hoffman may have saved me from sudden blindness. Dr. Hoffman is VERY thorough!

Dr. Hoffman is good and his staff is nice. Don't wait too long at his office. But his optician is horrible and you are better off to go and have your glasses/lenses purchased another place.

Would not recommend Dr. Hoffman. His work is ok. However, his staff and the optician were bad. The optician was the biggest problem. He was distance and showed interest in helping or doing business selling glasses. Basically, when I was there purchasing glasses, he did not want to be bothered. Don't go there and you would have a better day.
