Scott D. Hoffman, MD

Our very dearly beloved original MDVIP doctor retired, with whom we had an excellent relationship for years. He'd been there for us through my father's Alzheimer's Disease complications and had visited the hospital each day advising us until the day of his passing with excellent insight into what was transpiring. So, needless to say, we were concerned that we were just exceptionally blessed (and we were) and that as the torch was passed with those big shoes to be filled, that we would not have the same relationship with our next MDVIP doctor.

I will definitely tell you, blessings can come in many ways. Even though our original doctor will always be loved, Dr. Scott Hoffman has done a wonderful job with filling those shoes. He is like part of our family! He has far exceeded what I thought would've been the scenario after such an excellent previous experience. He continues the same excellent care and gives my 87 year old mother wonderful hugs! He's a blessing and we really love him! He allows me to share concerns about my mom's health, and always listens and shows such kindness to her.

My mother, husband, myself, and my in-laws are all patients of his practice. I will never go back to a non-MDVIP doctor, if I don't have too. You can be seen quickly and you never feel Dr. Hoffman is in a hurry to move on to the next person. He's a tremendous comfort to my mom and our family, and sometimes that's the best medicine. He's a trusted member of our family now. Thank you, Dr. Hoffman! Please know you ARE a blessing! Our family loves you!

My previous MDVIP physician, Dr. William Lee, recommended further evaluation of the loss of mobility due to my knees. During the knee condition evaluation period, Dr. Lee retired and Dr. Scott Hoffman became my primary physician. My knee condition evaluation was completed and complete replacement was recommended due to bone-on-bone contact in both knees. The surgeon originally assigned was not recommended for the knee surgery by a former associate. Dr. Hoffman worked closely with Dr. Lee to correct the situation with the assignment of a well qualified surgeon that was acceptable to all parties involved. The first knee surgery (right knee) was completed successfully and the recovery process is proceeding well. The left knee surgery will be scheduled for later this year. Thanks to Dr. Hoffman with the assistance of Dr. Lee for the prompt response to my concern.

I have multiple health issues and while my friends' doctors will only allow one issue per visit, Dr. Hoffman reviews all my conditions with each visit. No my visits are NOT 10 minutes long but closer to an hour per visit. My skin surgeon's nurse was amazed to get my blood tests within one hour of request from Dr Hoffman. Friendly and very competent staff as well. It's the best $$$ I've invested in my health.

I have experienced 75 years of wonderful health that came to a halt about one year ago with spinal stenosis and nerve compression in my lower back. I was in serious pain and discomfort for 4 months until I had surgery...and all improved. But then other health issues started to occur - it was like whack-a-mole! Throughout all of those challenges, Dr. Hoffman was helpful and responsive. But I want to particularly note how he has supported me through my most recent problem. My hands and feet began to swell - so much so I could no longer wear my own shoes or close my hands. Dr. Hoffman felt I was experiencing some type of auto-immune disorder. Because Dr. Hoffman is not a rheumatologist he could not be certain of that diagnosis. However, getting an appointment with a rheumatologist is difficult as there are not enough of them. So rather than just have me wait for an appointment, Dr. Hoffman ran a series of blood tests to rule things in and out and get the process started. He then sent my blood results to four different rheumatologists in the Raleigh area asking that I be seen. I actually did hear back from all of them - with appointments that ranged from 6 weeks to 4 months into the future. Before I can be seen by a rheumatologist, Dr. Hoffman has placed me on a Prednisone regimen to bring down inflammation so I can function. I am so appreciative for how Dr. Hoffman has stayed by my side throughout this challenging time, giving me hope and confidence in the process that things will improve. I am forever grateful to Dr. Hoffman and his team for their help and support!
