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.

I knew I was in good hands with Dr Hoffman
First, his office staff deserves an A plus. The receptionist and nurse were great. When I got there for my first appointment I was a little bit agitated, and they calmed me down. I really appreciate that.And Dr Hoffman not only is an excellent surgeon; but he is able to break everything down so that the patient has a good understanding of what is wrong with the heart and exactly what he will do. He didn’t rush me and I had a lot of questions. You can’t go wrong having him perform your cardiac surgery.

My Open heart surgery
I recently had Open Heart Surgery performed at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford hospital . A double bypass performed by Dr. Aaron Hoffman. I could not have selected a better thoracic surgeon !! He is my hero. His expertise is impeccable. A fine young man and I would highly recommend him.

Amazing doctor - the absolute BEST! He did my open heart surgery doing 5 by-passes. The other doctor supposed to do the surgery said he could only do 4 even though I had 5 blockages. Dr. Hoffman did a wonderful job and I recovered very, very well.
