  • Dr. Hoffmann is the absolute best!! We have seen others In the past and no one compares. I won't have my three children see anyone else now. Great bedside manner, caring, personable, smart and relatable. She puts my daughter at ease during those talks about anxiety and during examinations. She has your back as a parent and the child's back all at the same time. Truly one of a kind and we are so lucky to have her as our doctor. She is efficient yet you never feel rushed. I truly get the sense she cares about my children and that she loves what she does.

  • Dr Hoffman is so kind and really cares about my child. She takes the time to make sure you feel listened to and taken care of, and helped my 2 year old not be scared. She checked her stuffed animals ears before doing my daughters so she wouldn't be scared.

  • Literally no complaints about Dr. Hoffman. Except that we cannot take her home with us. She feels like a friend, which, for first-time parents is a helpful thing. I appreciate how much the nurses and doctors seem to care about the parents mental health as well as the child. Such a wholesome package.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
