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.

Outstanding Care
Dr. Hofstetter demonstrated exceptional care and patience, ensuring I fully understood every aspect of my treatment at each stage. He was personable, attentive, and affirming, which instilled great confidence in my treatment plan. His team's follow-up care was excellent, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my surgery and subsequent care.

I went to Dr. Hofstetter after I had a cat scan with a diagnosis of stage 1 lung cancer late in 2018. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I was impressed with his knowledge and his confidence. He is kind and caring. His entire staff is also amazing. I had a lobectomy in February 2019 and I am doing fantastic. I truly owe my life to him.

My husband has suffered with barrett's esophagus for many years. Several years ago he started receiving treatment at mdanderson. Dr. Hofstetter took the time to get to know my husband and what treatment was best for him. I feel that my husband is in very capable hands with dr. Hofstetter and feel blessed that he has him as one of his doctors.

Compassionate and extremely thorough doctor. Sense of humor which to me is important. He offers to hug his patients to put them at ease. He came in on his day off to see me. I owe my life to him.
