Patient Experience Reviews
Very professional gave me a chance to tell my problems and felt comfortable talking one on one
Everything worked out
He was very good, thought the worst but he said no longer needed surgery
Every one was very kind and concerned about me. I liked that when I was in the surgery room everyone introduced themselves and told me what they where in charge of during my surgery!
We did the CT scan and x-rays just waiting to hear from the Dr office. It has been a week.
Dr. Hoffer and his staff were all excellent and I would recommend Him to anyone who needs care.
Dr Hoffer has an excellent tool that he developed that summarizes your condition and treatment plan at the time of diagnosis and gives the patient a copy. It was so helpful when I was first diagnosed with a spinal meningioma that needed to be surgically removed. I have never had any other doctor do that. Kudos to Dr. Hoffer.
Seemed very knowledgeable, but a bit overworked.
Dr. Hoffer was a concerned, caring specialist, who explained the problem to me in depth. He also came up with new ideas that would better benefit my problem, and gave me referrals. I was very satisfied with Dr. Hoffer.
Excellent experience as always!!
Dr. Hoffer and his team (***) were excellent. All very very knowledgeable and professional when taking care of my needs. I am very confident that I am in good, trusted hands with Dr. Hoffer.
I was pleased to see Dr. Hoffer
Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
