Hoffman Scott First time visitor and I had the best experience ever. I saw Scott for a consultation and before we got into my dental needs, he took his time to get to know me and was very personal and felt like I was talking to a friend. He instantly spotted what my concerns were and assured me that we can correct some issues I have. I'm looking forward to making this my official place to be for all dental needs. They are extremely patient and comforting to young kids, and thoroughly explain what they are doing as well as why.

Dr. Hoffman and his office are fantastic. The front desk staff help with all aspects of the office and make the appointment easy to schedule. Have seen many of the hygienists. All are fantastic and professional. Dr. Hoffman is a true gem. I value his opinion and his work is stellar.

Dr. Hoffman is a wonderful dentist. He is gentle and personable. He is also caring, and is truly interested in how his patients are doing. Lisa is a great hygienist as well. She makes getting my teeth cleaned manageable. The whole office makes me feel comfortable. Dr. Hoffman can never retire since I will not know how to trust another dentist.

Dr. Hoffman is so pleasant and has a great bedside manner. His staff is super friendly and it's easy to schedule appointments. I've recently had a number of dental issues and he always makes sure I feel calm and comfortable. He will usually call later in the day to check-in and make sure I'm doing OK. Highly recommend. Downtown Menlo Park, with lots of easy parking nearby.

Scott Hoffman and his staff do a great job and are very friendly and professional. They also can refer you to excellent specialists. My family has been going to this dental practice for almost 25 years. My children have great teeth in part due to the good care at regular oral hygiene appointments with Scott Hoffman and his staff.

After searching for years to find new Dental Care provider I found the Hoffman offices. Ever since they have been nothing but polite, accommodating, and communicative. I had extensive work done of which was quoted at higher price and higher severity than what it actually was. Luckily, Scott was able to avoid root-canals on all the teeth in question and give me a great price for very professional work leaving me feeling stress and pain free.

All the Hygienist are very personable and great at their craft and the receptionists are beyond pleasant and do what they can to make things as easy and pain free. Happy to call them my new dental home.

Dr. Hoffman accommodated an emergency appointment for my grandmother who is in hospice when no one else would. He attended to her and immediately solved her issue, and with empathy and compassion. It was the first time we've visited his office, but I am so incredibly grateful to him and his staff for their swift response and kindness to me and my grandmother during an otherwise difficult time.

Dr Scott Hoffman is excellent. I have been visiting him since 2003. He is highly experienced and always identifies the issue accurately and treat it well.

I highly recommend Dr Hoffman as an "all star" dentist. He's extremely experienced and has addressed many issues with my teeth over the past year I've been a patient. I had a main dentist for 20yrs who retired. After 5 years I thought I would never find a suitable replacement. Thank god I was referred to Dr. Hoffman. He has been excellent and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for dental care.

I have been Dr. Hoffman's patient for many years and I would never feel as comfortable with anyone else. He is a true rockstar with great bed side manner. He is compassionate and truly cares about his patients. Deborah (in the front office) is awesome too! Dr. Hoffman, thank you for taking care of my teeth for so many years!

Love Dr Hoffman and especially Abin who does my teeth cleaning. I could probably win a prize for the most nervous and apprehensive patient that walks through their doors but Abin is so calming to me and gets me through the dreaded appointment (no fault of theirs.it's just me.) Highly recommend with five stars

Dr. Hoffman was so professional and was so compassionate! Took a great amount of time listening to my concerns! I'm a physician myself and I totally understand what difference it makes for a patient when your doctor takes more or less time with you in the room! He gave some reasonable recommendations and answers questions thoroughly! Ok! Now to Eva!

The dental hygienist! She's the best I've ever had! She's so caring! Takes her time and so patient! I was not their easiest patient as I have a very limited mouth opening but she was able to clean my teeth pretty well and was able to even take xrays with the significant limitations I had. She was giving me appropriate breaks in between cleaning so I don't wear my jaw off. She really is great in what she does. So thank you everyone in the office! You made visiting a dentist less scary; totally recommended to everybody.

I've been a patient of Scott Hoffman's since 1986, when I showed up terrified of dentists and in need of lots or work. He got me through years of repair, veneers, root canals as needed, always with comfort, tenderness but, as critically, extraordinary skill. I moved to Sonoma County this year and just made an appointment to go back to see Dr. Hoffman because I'd never trust another Doctor as I do him.

He is my forever dentist. I vividly remember, after my first visit of hard work by Dr. Hoffman, getting his phone call that evening, just to see if I was in pain or okay. How many Doctors ever do that? Scott Hoffman does. Run, don't walk to his office for dental care.

I've been visiting Scott Hoffman's office since I was a kid. He's a great dentist who gets to know each one of his patients and is honest. The staff is friendly as well.

I miss Dr. Hoffman. Over 15 years ago I went in for a filling and we successively endured root canals, bridges and veneers. All are still in place. That alone is a great reference. I still recommend him highly to my Bay area friends and encourage those with issues to schedule an appointment and trust him to treat you fairly and competently (and he's nice).

10 years ago just before I moved down here my old dentist told me I needed to come back for a filling. When i moved down here my friend referred me to Dr Hoffman--the "bestest" in the world according to her. When I came in for that filling he told me it was just a stain! 10 years later it's still just a stain and that trust has proved true every time. Even better than Dr Hoffman is his hygienist, Lisa, who is the most thorough and gentle I've experienced.

After seeing only one dentist my entire life I was apprehensive about finding a new one. It took visiting a couple others that I wasn't thrilled about before I found Dr. Hoffman. He will be my forever dentist - or at least until he retires. He's wonderful, his front office is great and the hygenists are fantastic. All the latest and greatest equipment, everything from the waiting area to the exam room and everything in between is very clean and there is always parking in the back. On my last visit I had to wait a few minutes after my scheduled appointment time, but heck. That's all I can complain about!

I've been going to Dr. Hoffman for years and he and his staff have always treated me very well. I tend to require a lot of lidocaine when getting a filling or a crown, and Dr. Hoffman has always been very patient to make sure I don't feel anything. And everyone in the office, from Dr. Hoffman all the way to the front-desk staff, have always been very friendly. I can't recommend him strongly enough.

Dr. Hoffman is an artist. I am super-sensitive to pain and I'm also very emotionally attached to my teeth. Dr. Hoffman is always gentle with me, he always explains everything he is doing and his work is the best. Other dental professionals have commented on how great my teeth look. His staff is very efficient and friendly. I recommend him highly.
