“Dr. Hoffman did my TKR, the first one 10 years ago and the second one 3 years ago. Everything went perfectly. I walk 10,000 steps every day with no issues. Recently I have been working with the Plaza PT folks because of an undoing balance issue possibly related to neuropathy. The staff was perfect, very professional, and always encouraging. Nicole Norton was my usual physical therapist. She provided me with exercises and a protocol that I will continue to use on my own. Dr. S. Ray and Dr. R. Taylor both referred me to Plaza PT.”
– Marcia W.

– Douglas N.
5
“Every small detail to help with my success was addressed before, during, and after surgery. This included Pre-surgery PT to strengthen muscles, protein drinks, and supplements to prepare my body for surgery, the use of a pump on my non-surgery leg to prevent DVT after surgery, along with both Pre-surgery visits and post-surgery visits to answer all questions and assess progress. I’m so glad I came to Dr. Hoffman for a second opinion. He was an intent listener and problem solver for my orthopedic problems and offered solutions that I could trust.”
– Andrea G.

“Since I have had five surgeries in the last five years. A total right hip replacement in 2016. A total left hip replacement in 2019. Three weeks later, another total left hip replacement to fix a broken femur bone. This year I had left total knee and six weeks later right total knee replacement. I really trust Dr. Hoffman. I believe he cares about his patients and is continually learning new procedures to make the process of replacement surgeries better. He is caring and makes sure you understand what he is telling you. He has helped me to live my life without being in pain. And I'm not bow-legged anymore.”
– Tamara L.

“Between me, my husband, and my kids, we have probably built your practice with all of the body parts that have been injured, broken, snapped, and just plain worn out. We have been referred to other practices by our GPs but have always insisted on Dr. Hoffman. Each incident was dealt with professionally and efficiently and had wonderful outcomes. The bottom line is the outcomes, and every time has been great. My family always recommends your practice. We would never go elsewhere.”

– Jacqualine F.
5
“Dr. Hoffman took time at my first appointment to explain the procedure and show me my X-rays to see the condition of my knees. He was aware of my need to know what would be taking place in the surgery. Due to Covid 19, I postponed my surgery until I could receive the vaccine and reach the full efficacy of the vaccine. I was able to have the robotic method used for fitting my appliances which I feel increased the accuracy and bone preparation. I am a very curious person by nature. I asked many questions, especially when it came to the mechanics of the knee replacement hardware fitting. I was very satisfied with my rapid recovery and healing. I will have my right knee replace also. The second time I will know a little better what to expect for recovery and assistance.”
– Jane D.

We decided on a replacement for a better quality of life. I couldn’t ride my bike or dance or shop all day. Boot camp had me ready for surgery at the surgery center. Wonderful results, my hip is great, and happily, my knee no longer hurts! I can shop, ride a bike, and dance! Thank you, Dr. Hoffman, Dean, and Aaron.”
