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.

I had a video visit which clarified what I should be watching for. I was asked to report how I was in a week. A week after the message i sent, i was relieved to see Dr. H asking me how I am. I think that might be a first for me.

Excellent Diagnostician
I've seen Dr. Hoffman on a few occasions. She is supremely knowledgeable and professional as well as having a great bedside manner. She asks the right questions and always listens. I knew I had bronchitis, told her the symptoms and without hesitation, Dr. Hoffman prescribed the correct antibiotic. When I see Dr. Hoffman I know I will receive excellent care.

So happy I found Dr. Hoffman
Dr. Hoffman is caring and attentive and knowledgable. I never feel hurried and she answers all my questions. The referrals have been good. She was there for me (on video) when I had Covid pneumonia in March/April 2020 and I'm forever grateful.

A great doctor!
Dr. Hoffman is wonderful, and exemplifies the high standard of care and caring that my wife and I have come to expect from the Weil Cornell team. My appointment with Dr. Hoffman was relatively brief, in that she was covering for my regular physician and just conducting a follow-up related to a prescription renewal - yet she was patient and thorough, treating me as if she'd been my doctor for years. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and caring physician.
