Ari Hoffman

“We consider ourselves very lucky that we were under the care of Dr. Hoffman. He was more than excellent in taking the necessary time to assess and treat my wife, displaying an excellent bedside manner that really calmed us. We left the hospital very impressed with him as a person and physician, and frankly wishing he was a non-hospitalist, so he could be our PCP on an outpatient basis."
