10 years ago just before I moved down here my old dentist told me I needed to come back for a filling. When i moved down here my friend referred me to Dr Hoffman – the«bestest» in the world according to her. When I came in for that filling he told me it was just a stain! 10 years later it’s still just a stain and that trust has proved true every time. Even better than Dr Hoffman is his hygienist, Lisa, who is the most thorough and gentle I’ve experienced.

Dr. Scott Hoffman is the most pompous, careless dentist I have ever experienced in my one visit to his office. My original dentist was out of town the week after I had 2 fillings(my first fillings ever) done on my teeth, so I was referred to see Dr. Hoffman after feeling pain from the filling being chipped out. He looked in my mouth and confirmed that indeed one if my fillings had a chip in it and that he would drill a little out, and refill it. HEDRILLEDTHEWRONGTOOTH. He drilled into a molar that had never had a filling before. The worst part is, he tried to cover it up and he is denying any wrongdoing. I’m still in pain and am considering legal action against this careless and self-centered dentist. He is WAY to drill-happy. See dr. Andrawess instead, he is much more conservative and patient-centered.

After seeing only one dentist my entire life I was apprehensive about finding a new one. It took visiting a couple others that I wasn’t thrilled about before I found Dr. Hoffman. He will be my forever dentist — or at least until he retires. He’s wonderful, his front office is great and the hygenists are fantastic. All the latest and greatest equipment, everything from the waiting area to the exam room and everything in between is very clean and there is always parking in the back. On my last visit I had to wait a few minutes after my scheduled appointment time, but heck. That’s all I can complain about!

I just came from a ROOTCANAL… arghhhhh… i have to say though, I always look forward to my visit with Scott and his staff… after so many years they are like friends and family… Scott has the ability to make even the worst of experiences bearable! AND today they told me I can get my teeth cleaned AND a whitening at my next appointment… who doesn’t LOVE one stop shopping?

I’ve been going to Dr. Hoffman for years and he and his staff have always treated me very well. I tend to require a lot of lidocaine when getting a filling or a crown, and Dr. Hoffman has always been very patient to make sure I don’t feel anything. And everyone in the office, from Dr. Hoffman all the way to the front-desk staff, have always been very friendly. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.

Dr. Hoffman is an artist. I am super-sensitive to pain and I’m also very emotionally attached to my teeth. Dr. Hoffman is always gentle with me, he always explains everything he is doing and his work is the best. Other dental professionals have commented on how great my teeth look. His staff is very efficient and friendly. I recommend him highly.
