    20 years of care and vision after 14 surgeries it's a miracle by his staff and his hands. I am one lucky lady.

    Dr. Hoffman has been there since day 1 when I brought my daughter in for her strabisums in both eyes. She has (2) double eye surgeries and the outcome has been so wonderful. The staff is so kind and reassuring. I would recommend this place to anyone needing eye evaluations. No doubt he is the best eye doctor around!

    The surgery Dr. Hoffman performed resulted in full recovery of my depth perception. That is a huge asset to my future safety É not to mention the improvement to my quality of life! Dr. Hoffman is personable, caring, courteous, and takes a genuine interest in others. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman and all the medical staff associated with Â鶹ѧÉú¾«Æ·°æ. I would choose them above all other providers I have used in my lifetime.
