Deborah A. Hoffman

Was goin to call for an appointment until I read the reviews. I don't ever remember seeing so many bad things about a doctor. Pretty sad...

Worst doctor I've ever been to in my entire life. She didn't listen to me, she invalidated me, she told me I was lying about my symptoms, and even probed me about my trauma telling me I needed to tell her. I will never go back to her or recommend anyone to her. I would give her zero stars if I could.

5 years ago I was being treated for a case of pneumonia at Sharp Reese Steely hospital in San Diego, Ca. Although Dr Hoffman was not on my team of specialists, she was instrumental in saving my life. The night I ended up in ICU, she reviewed my X-rays and alerted staff that my condition was critical. I survived that 1st night and a long slow recovery began. Dr Hoffman would stop by to check on my progress just before moving to Kalispell. I am eternally grateful to Dr Hoffman.

I do not recommend her for my worst enemy. She is impolite and thinks she knows it all and really knows nothing. I think she may be on drugs.

the worst doctor ever. Horrible bedside manner and thinks she knows it all and doesn't really listen to you. You see her for one thing and she is trying to treat you for something she apparently has no knowledge in. very dissatisfied and definitely do not recommend not even to my worst enemy.

Dr. Hoffman did not care about me and was too busy for me. She made me feel like my questions were stupid. All she cares about is being the only specialist in the area for certain ventilator machines. I say we need some other specialists to give patients other choices to see doctors who actually care about them.

She comes into the room, is extremely condescending, then repeatedly ask a question, does not let you finish answering the question, then cuts you off and asks another question. Within 30 seconds she had this attitude that she knew everything about my case, which come to find out someone began to get my records transferred from another state but never finished the process, so she knew nothing about my illness or prior 3 years of treatment in a large city cancer center. One of the worst doctors I have ever seen!

I saw Dr Hoffman this morning, she was very good at answering all my questions. She actually seemed to care about my sleep apnea problem and also explained how my lack of sleep was creating other problems I look forward to her managing my sleep disorder!!

Waited 40 minutes, rushed, talked over us, got frustrated with us when we were talking amongst ourselves while she was charting and asked us to be quiet. Never listened to the lungs! Bedside manner ????. She was all over the place. Not very good at explaining things to older folks. Was impatient answering questions.

She came in room and read the patient questionnaire, and promptly told me that there was no problem, before any exam or labs.??? I do not trust doctors who do not listen to patients!!!

listened to my problems and offered suggestions for me to try to help with my problems. Was very concerned and kind.

Dr. Hoffman went above and beyond to try to help me with my medical issues. Great personal communication back regarding test results.

An uncaring attitude that left me in tears. Whatever the medical level of competence, the care is just not there. Will change pulmonologist after this visit.

Whatever the medical competence, Dr Hoffman has uncaring, rushed and aggressive manner. Left feeling hopeless and in tears

I was referred by my PCP. Dr. Hoffman spent 5 minutes with me in a rush, did not know what the problem was, told me to come back for testing. Then, I received a bill for $342! For what?

Dr. Hoffman was courteous and listened to my reason for the office visit. She took sufficient time and asked enough questions to investigate the cause of my problem and determine the proper treatment. If felt accurately diagnosed and would recommend this doctor.

No bedside manner, no after care, no offer of additional info on condition. Cleared for full time work: hey doc, what do I do for a living? Chest pain (ache) and crackling noise in lower abdomen after strenuous physical effort: I was treated like I made this up, totally ignored this info. Some RN's I know are more knowledgable and informative.
