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 was the miracle worker for my father’s heart transplant in 2003. She cared for him years post transplant and God gave dad another 15 years here with us. She was an advocate for dad, after he caught a meningitis infection at the hospital. It was a long journey post transplant, Dr. Hoffman was always there, always caring.

Worst doctor ever. She rejected my husband as an LVAD candidate and essentially left him to die. We found a much more competent doctor in Chicago, and my husband got a BiVAD and lived 3 more years with an excellent quality of life. Thank God we did NOT listen to this idiot and put him in hospice!

Thank you for the praise-worthy review!

23 years ago, my doctors told me my chest pain and shortness of breath were just because I was out of shape. Dr. Rinde-Hoffman found I had 3 clogged arteries. She simply saved my life. Had 2 more incidents in the next 20 years and she again fixed my heart. She is a fantastic, caring and very knowledgeable cardiologist.

I was referred to Dr Hoffman 11 years ago for my heart problems. Her and her team kept me alive when other doctors turned me down for any surgery to repair my diseased heart. After surgery I lived a near normal life until Heart Failure became life threatening, in 2015 She saved my Life with a Heart Transplant. I am alive and quite active Today. I would not Hesitate to Recommend Her and her very Capable Team to anyone that needs THE BEST and Most Professional Heart Transplant Team in the Country!
