I was seen by Dr. Hoffman this morning and was told I am a red flag patient. I called midway through my six week recovery from a total hip replacement with concerns of pain. Because I was advocating for myself, it would appear I agitated him. I was told that my problems were bigger than my hip replacement and that they would continue because of my mental state. I’m not exactly sure why talking like that to a patient would seem acceptable or helpful in any way. Even though he stated he can’t be insulted, I attempted to tell him my complaints of pain were not a reflection of his work. He seemed to take it personally anyway.We had to conclude the appointment with no resolve or conclusion.
Thank you for your time.

Dr. Hoffman was incredibly informative in his diagnosis and remedies for my knees.
He was also attentive and equally informative to my questions.
Great appointment!
While I do not recall the staff that checked me in and worked with me, they were very professional and efficient.
