      Dr. Hofler and his team listen and ask questions to determine they have considered everything. The care provided is outstanding.

      Gave me no options to look into for now. Told me when I fall to come back and maybe we can get it all fixed then. I need help controlling pain if he can't fix me yet.

      Dr Hofler and team are second to none. I'm very satisfied with my overall care. Dr Hoflers nurse, Jennifer W alone has set the bar high. I have nothing but good things to say! I can not say enough how satisfied I am! Without them I wouldn't be where I am today!
