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. Hofacker is a great podiatrist and very caring!! His staff are very personable women. I would definitely refer any of my family or friends to visit him!!

Went out of his way to provide excellent wound care and healing on a leg wound after the wound care center at Akron General was unable to complete the task. He works with others, researches, and doesn't give up. The staff and team are all very caring.

Dr. Hofacker has taken excellent care of my entire family. He is very gentle, honest and clear on what needs to be done and how it is going to happen. I tell everyone that has trouble with their feet about Dr. Hofacker. I cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me. His office staff has always worked hard to get me in as soon as possible when I called.

I did not have an appt. with this doctor but I have contacted his office and the woman that picked up has absolutely horrible customer service. No respect and hung up rudely. Staff needs to be more presssional.

The pharmaceutical rep came in unexpectedly. The Dr. dropped everything to meet with her in the waiting room - while keeping me and another patient waiting. He chatted with her about things other than medications without seeming to be in any hurry to see patients. I immediately got a poor first impression. After I was finally seen he seemed impatient and didn't listen very well. Also, I didn't feel confident in his diagnosis - he seemed unsure. I'm getting a 2nd opinion and will never go back.
