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.

Another Top Notch Physician at UCSF
Dr Hoffman is a very caring and skilled physician/surgeon. I had a procedure in March 2021 and I am very happy with the results. I needed a touch up 8 months later in which Dr Hoffman did a fantastic touch up. He wants to make sure you, the patient, is happy with your results and will do everything he can to achieve an excellent outcome. I highly recommend Dr Hoffman and his team (NP Jaclyn is the best!). Questions and messages are handled in a very timely manner. A side note: UCSF has the best physicians and surgeons in California if not the U.S. Thank you again Dr Hoffman :))

He is an amazing surgeon. He is totally overworked (and often dozing off in appts with me) but he’s competent and the work he’s done on me is life changing. I am very happy I found him and hope he teaches others all he knows before he retires, he’s truly an amazing doctor. Highly recommended with some reservations as I mentioned staff can be very difficult to deal with and billing & coding handled by front end staff could be much better. His level of interaction with me was minimal but positive

I have a chronic skin condition and no one was able to provide amazing treatment and support like Doctor Hoffman. I had searched for help for years and am so grateful he was referred to me. He is very patient, sympathetic, direct, and sincere. I haven't had any serious symptoms in years (thanks to him) but any time I do get a scare, he is always willing to schedule time to help me.
