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.

Stop looking, Dr Hoffman is the BEST!
This was my personal best visit after surgery. Dr Hoffman was optimistic on my recovery.

Thank you Dr
I’m on a difficult, inner ear health enigma. Dr Hoffman was first ENT I’ve seen that coupled care, compassion, and empathy with expert advice. While still working through things, I feel I’ve got somebody looking out for me finally. (And did learn some important new things for my care plan) Thank you Karen!

In Person Followup Visit January 7, 2025
Efficacy of time, evaluation & solutions differentiate Dr. Hoffman's practice from many others. All acute ailments were resolved with accurate diagnosis and treatment. Information regarding the latest research for chronic conditions, i.e., Tinnitus, were explained in detail. Dr. Hoffman and her staff are the ultimate professionals and have my highest recomendation.

Amazing!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Hoffmann for a few months now and she’s been absolutely amazing! Had a procedure recently to fix my septum and left with 0 pain, barely any swelling and no bruising. Her patient care is superb and you can tell she’s passionate about her career. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Hoffmann and would recommend her and her practice to anyone looking for an ENT!

Dr Hoffman is wonderful, if you can see her...
Arrived on time for an 8:30am appointment. Waited an hour and a half before I had to leave to resume my work day. No update or status from staff, no apology, just an indignant look when I informed them I was leaving. With 30m drive each way in ATL traffic and $10 for parking, that's two and a half hours totally wasted. Thoroughly disappointed, as Dr. Hoffman is a wonderful doctor, if you can see her...
