Dr. Eric Duniway Hoffman, MD

Dr. Hoffman operated on both of my shoulders, Rotator cuff surgery as well as arthritis. Excellent doctor and I highly recommend him!

Dr. Hoffman is a perfect example of a judgemental, careless, arrogant physician. I had the dis pleasure of meeting him several years ago, due to a torn ACL. He seemed very distant, hurried, and uninterested. He told me because of my weight, he would need to “search” for an extra large knee brace, ( which I would not find is an uncommon need ) then, he also decided - “because you live a sendentary life style, surgery is not an option”. Physical therapy was where I was referred to. Dr. Hoffman had an attitude from the first moment of meeting him, of arrogance & felt I was judged by my weight and nothing else. Here it is, years later - after having chronic knee pain for years, with it recently becoming extremely painful and giving out at random times - end up, unfortunately, with him again, as my doctor. He was 25 minutes late, and gave me 5 minutes of his time. He again, was very dismissive, spoke in medical talk, and obviously had no recognition that I was a prior patient of his. He was completely unsympathetic & rushed me out of the office without me having a clear understanding of what was actually wrong. Again, he referred me to physical therapy. I contacted OA several times, asking for someone to please review the office visit notes with me to clarify what the diagnosis is. After 3 weeks from the appointment date, I was finally able to reach someone, who gave me information that was NOT discussed in the appointment. I had already had 3 appointments of physical therapy at this point, with an unclear diagnosis. After that conversation - I asked for a different doctor within that practice. I will never go back to Dr Hoffman again. ( I had a 3 month follow up scheduled with him ). I asked to be seen by s doctor that has been highly recommend by the physical therapist. If Dr. Hoffman choses to remain a weight judging, careless, arrogant doctor - why did he take on the job of working with humans ? He obviously doesn’t like people. He would do best to retire & become a tree surgeon - NOT a knee surgeon.

It was get you in.... get you out....if you called the portland office to talk with the Drs. Nurse. It was if you were bothering them. I found no compassion . And to get information from anyone was like pulling teeth. After i found out i need a total replacement. I was told to seek professional help for weight loss but i quess the several times we talked and told him i was enrolled in the weight and wellness program. So it was seek help for weight loss and that was that end of dicussion. Never said this how much weight you need to loss or when your lose the weight come back and we'll talk more about the surgery. Will say the PT staff is GREAT!@Windham

Excellent surgical care of fractured clavicle and subsequent removal of hardware one year later.

I went through a lot before I met dr Hoffman and he made me very comfortable as well found my problem with my knee that previous doctors couldn't.he was awesome and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs his expertise . I cant say enough but hes the one!

Great bedside manner and great follow-up post operative information. Thanks.
