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.

If you are having foot pain. He's the one!
Dr. Hoffman is very patient, and knowledgeable. He always asked me if I had any questions but I usually didn't because he was so thorough. My feet were a genetic disaster, he performed 2 surgeries and they went smooth from start to finish. When my insurance was pushing back he took the time to talk to them himself and got them to pay for my surgery. There are just not enough good things to say about him. He is not your typical doctor. If you are looking for a podiatrist I would say 'Run! Don't walk!' but if you are having foot pain, just get there however you can.

Pleasant, competent and professional podiatrist.
He guided me to solve my foot and ankle problems with specific exercises to stretch muscles and tendons in my lower limbs.

Incorrect Billing for Services
I have seen S Hoffman several times and have continuing concerns about billing. For last visit, I have just received insurance claims and he billed Medicare for services not received. This is very disturbing.

Great Doc!
I went to Dr Hoffman after a referral from my family doctor. My family Docter said he was “very good.” That was very true. We discussed my Achilles injury, tried some PT first, and then decided to fix the problem with surgery. I was well informed about the surgery and he did a great job fixing my injury. Dr Hoffman has a very good nurse and I’m looking to a full recovery. Super experience for a surgery that has some time to recover. I would highly recommend Dr Hoffman for any ankle injury.

Wonderful guy
I adore Dr. Hoffman. I’m a medically complex patient and he’s taken excellent care of me. And he’s willing to take on the nerve pain I’ve been suffering from for years. He’s gentle and empathetic.

Definitely recommend Dr. Scott Hoffman!
Every aspect of selecting Dr. Scott Hoffman has been top notch…even better than I anticipated! (Dr. H. was recommended by a podiatrist I first met with in the Chicago area.) His knowledge, experience, & ability to successfully administer the Lapiplasty procedure has been a blessing. I will have Lapiplasty done on my other foot later this year. All nurses & office staff are very friendly, caring, & professional. I am very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Scott Hoffman!

Dr. Hoffman's lapiplasty skills are top notch!
I did a lot of research about lapiplasty and the podiatrists in my area who've trained to perform the specialized surgery. I'm so glad that I selected Dr. Hoffman and his wonderful staff. At my first follow up after the surgery, I was amazed at how my bunion and hammertoe had just disappeared! My case was rather severe, so my recuperation might take a bit longer, but I was fitted for a walking boot at 3 weeks. I'm so excited about not having anymore bunion pain and looking forward to when Dr. Hoffman can do lapiplasty on my right foot.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hoffman and his staff. Dr. Hoffman was thorough, understood my goals, listened and answered all my concerns. I had bunioneictomies on both feet. RF on 7-27-20 and LF on 2-22-21. It’s now 2-18-22 and I am doing great and happy with my results. I was virtually pain-free through this whole experience by following Dr. Hoffman’s instructions.
