If you are looking for an Endodontist look no further than Dr. Hoffman. Her warmth and caring nature put you at ease immediately. I had a very complicated case and she was empathetic and saw me immediately to come up with best plan for me. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

I was referred to Dr. Hoffman by my primary dentist for root canal. Root Canal! Previous experience with this procedure gave me anxiety- considering my threshold of pain is nil! Dr. Hoffman's expertise is unquestionable- she was quick and effective in this procedure. Other than noises heard - it was completely painless. Added to this, her stuff are pleasant and friendly ladies which made me feel at ease. Thankful to come across Dr. Hoffman - will definitely recommend her! Thank you for the care . read more

I was referred over by my Primary to Dr. Hoffman for a root canal. Nothing that required immediate treatment as I did not have any pain symptoms but my primary noticed some decay in the tooth which showed in my annual X-Ray Upon arrival, the assistant started with your typical X Rays. Here is where things started going wrong. Dr. Hoffman came in and we reviewed that the tooth being referred over from my Primary via a short conversation. She started to proceed without even looking at the X Rays. 6 minutes into it, she stopped and the procedure was done. It was explained to me that she observed a previous root canal treatment done while she was doing her procedure and a temporary filler was put in place. I was advised she would confer with my primary and circle back on next steps of treatment. A month goes by with no communication from the office and I call to schedule for my follow-up based on the supposed review that was to occur with my primary dentist which I presume should have taken no more than 10 business days. In week 5 since my last visit, it took multiple calls to request for Dr. Hoffman to call me back 6 Weeks after the initial visit. I was then simply advised over the phone that an extraction might be the better option as the success rate for a retreatment was much less. I'm not not clear why my X Rays was never looked at before the procedure started or why it took 6 weeks for her to tell me something she could have told me after my 6 minute procedure. My benefits was maxed out due to the claim submitted for this visit. This could have easily been avoided had she had reviewed the X Ray. I mean isn't that why X Rays are done. This was a money grab visit that hopefully the next person who may stumble upon this review may avoid. The claim submitted was for a root canal retreatment and a * comprehensive consultation*. No retreatment procedure aside being done, I'm not sure what the definition of a comprehensive consultation is. If I had to define it, it would have been the Dr. Reviewing the X ray, advising me of what my options were and the success rates, etc before even starting the treatment. I'm still quite shocked my X Rays were never even looked at until she was done with her 6 minute procedure and then decided to look at the X Rays post op to confirm her findings during the procedure. Since I had a temporary filling in my mouth, I needed to find find a resolution regardless of my Benefits being Used Up. I ended up paying OOP to my Oral Surgeon who is a gem. For my initial consultation, He spent a solid 90 minutes+ reviewing the X Rays, what he saw, what the procedure would entail, the multiple followups required as extraction to implant is quite the procedure in itself, the timeline from extraction to Implant and almost every detail involved in this procedure. Now that in itself was a learning lesson on what a consultation from a Dr. who genuinely has his patient in their best interest is. I was never pressed to do the procedure but I was given a full view of the diagnosis based on the X Rays, and the outcomes to be expected from procedure. read more

Nearly 15 years ago I had to have an emergency root canal and Dr. Hoffman made a difficult experience so much easier. She is warm, personable, knowledgeable and comforting. Last week I had another dental emergency and I knew exactly where to go. She performed another root canal on me. While I hope to never see her again, I'm glad to have such a great doctor to turn to if needed. read more

Best place ever to receive a root canal. Kids and adults alike. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Dr. Hoffman is also very comforting and gentle. High tech tools for your precious mouth. Highly recommend service here. read more

I'm pretty sure Dr Hoffman saved my life. I was feeling intense pain for 2 days and finally got to see her. She took one look and realized how bad it was. Even though she didn't have an opening, Dr Hoffman worked through lunch and fit me in right before her next patient. The infection had gotten so bad for my tooth. Thank you Dr Hoffman! You are the best!!! read more

"I Kick My Root Down I Put My Root Down So Mike, Get On The Mic And Turn It Out We're Talking Root Down, I Put My Root Down" - Beastie Boys I got my root canal today! I've been de-virginized! I had heard all these horror stories about root canals. But don't worry, either the technology has gotten better, or they were all lies. It feels exactly like getting a cavity filled. Tips to make this visit a great one: 1. Make sure your iPod is fully charged and bring a pair of in ears 2. Make sure you let them know you're deathly afraid of needles so they handle you with the utmost care 3. Contrary to the Tom Cruise Movie, "DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES" 4. As they drill into your teeth, slightly turn your iPod up so you don't hear the drill. 5. Get lost in the music.... About an hour an 1/2 and one play list later, Viola! You're done. Painless. Nice work Hoffman! Pleasant staff, and I like they're style. you're in, get down to business, and your out. I can dig it.

Dr. Hoffman is awesome. I just got back from my root canal. No big deal at all. The staff is great and very accommodating. Dr. Hoffman made sure I was okay throughout the entire process. She also worked to get me in even though she was fully booked. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for an evaluation/x-ray on my root canal and Dr. Hoffman was so sweet! She listened to everything I had to say and explained everything thoroughly - she was able to really reassure me about a potential procedure I might not need down the line (finally some good news), and promised to follow-up with a different specialist for me. Because she was so clear and concise, the evaluation itself was only ten min. She also made sure I wasn't overcharged for anything as I was leaving (that's just awesome!). Great endodontist and very friendly office staff! I hope I don't have to come again but if I do - I know I would be in good hands. read more

My Periodontist referred me to Dr. Hoffman to have her assess whether a tooth could be saved with a root canal and give him a prognosis before deciding to extract the tooth. (it would have been the third root canal in the same tooth). I found Dr. Hoffman to be in a rush to dispatch me. She was totally unwilling to listen to me as a patient or the history of the tooth in question. The tone of her voice and her demeanor were unfriendly. I almost felt scolded for not exhibiting pain when she tested my bite. I explained to her that the pain was intermittent. She also dismissed as irrelevant the fact that my periodontist had found signs of infection in the tooth and that I'm experiencing sensitivity in my gums in the area. I had previously been treated at the same location by Dr. Huza, an associate of Dr. Hoffman, and had an extremely positive experience. Dr. Huza did what should be expected of any health care profesional: listen attentively, explain clearly, and demonstrate empathy. read more

Dr Hoffman is seriously one of the best Endo's. You are in the best hands. Like the person below said she squeezed me in and truly cared and delivered immediate relief. read more

Dr. Huza of this office has an excellent "chairside" manner and is so naturally kind and considerate. I never knew of this field, but my excellent dentist is referring his patients here. Dr. Huza is very talented and I didn't feel a thing. read more

I've had two root canals with Dr. Hoffman. She's a great doctor, very attentive makes sure you are comfortable and pain free. She comes across as consummate professional and yet very caring. I would recommend anyone to go to her if you have to get a root canal. read more

Received an outstanding root canal. Dr. Hoffman took me in as a referral on short notice. She eliminated the pain and left me with good follow-up instructions. Her team works effortlessly and quietly. Very impressed and will refer friends to her practice. Siegfried Zelt read more

If you're like me going to the dentist isn't high on the enjoyment list. Fear not as Dr Hoffmann is the answer! I've had two root canals with her and she is very accommodating and creates an environment that is comfortable. Key for me is she doesn't hurt and explains what is happening. This recent time I actually dozed off during the root canal which has to be the highest compliment. If all that wasn't enough to my surprise she sent me a text that evening to check how I was doing!!! She is pricey and you pay up front but her office staff is on top of things. My insurance company processed my claim within 24 hours. I'm grateful the paperwork was done so quickly. You won't be sorry!! read more

The work itself was done professionally and well. No problem there. The $2150 price tag for what was a very routine root canal, was way over the top. Because I was from out of town, apparently this price gouging was deemed okay. Definitely get a quote before getting work done here, as this office seems to think it's perfectly fine to overcharge. Granted root canals require some expertise, but it ain't rocket science. read more

Ok. So I've had 2 root canals in my life only (thank god) but I have to say, Dr. Hoffman was amazing. I went in for my consult at the end of the day, and after completing a thorough exam, she confirmed that I needed a root canal on my molar. She stayed late and completed the root canal on the spot due to my schedule. If that wasn't enough, since it was a complicated tooth, to make sure all had gone properly, she had me see her in her other office to look at the seal of the procedure in 3D. She's a wonderful clinician, soft hands, a great work ethic, and most importantly, she cares about her patients. I would refer anyone as unlucky as me who needs a root canal treatment to her! read more

She is a wonderful, caring and honest doctor. She advised me what was in my best interest, not to continue with a root canal, but was not in her financial interest. Feel blessed that I was recommended to her. Truly a 5 Star DDS. read more

I can't say enough about both the medical/dental care and the "human care" provided by Dr. Hoffman and her staff. She worked with me on a rather complicated procedure at the end of the day, and made sure that the work done was was perfect- no matter how long it took. She also took the time to explain every step in great detail, showing me images and explaining every aspect. AND she texted the nest day to see how I was doing! A dental first in my experience! While I can't honestly say I am "looking forward" to my next few appointments, I am almost glad to be there! read more

I came back in 7 months to have my tooth checked and she informed me that she did not fill it properly and needed to re do it. Distraught, I said OK because what else was I going to say. I came back, took a cab down as I took anti-anxiety in preparation for the procedure and upon arrival she began to tell me that she was very concerned about proceeding with the fix on my new veneers and thought she could break a veneer. She is explaining all of this to me the day of my procedure while I am on a medicine and asking me as the patient what I would like done. So upset - a waste of time, energy and money. While YES she did refund me for the original root canal, the office did not reimburse me for the additional medical expenses of a new exam and new xrays with the new dentist I had to see because of my move as they said they would.. The explanation was because they compensated me already- if it was done correctly the first time I would not have had to see other doctors and have these expenses and stress. read more

Dr. Hoffman is an exceptional Endodontist. She really takes her time and does a thorough job. I had a root canal done by her and it was completely painless. I wasn't scared or nervous at all being in her chair, she really knows what she's doing. She is very skilled and I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed! read more

I went to Dr. Hoffman for 2 root canals in the same session. She administered the Novocain shots perfectly, I was in the chair for 2 plus hours of work and never felt pain once. The two teeth were severely decayed, so they had to be drilled quite deeply. I found that I was able to eat comfortably the next day. I was late getting back to my dentist for the follow up work, but the root canals were still intact and my dentist could proceed, because Dr. Hoffman had done such outstanding work. If you need an endodontist for a root canal or a related procedure, I highly recommend Claudia Hoffman, DDS. read more

Had my first root canal today. Did not know what to expect. Dr. Hoffman explained what she was doing and took great care in administering novocaine so no pain was felt. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman - she is a caring and wonderful root canal specialist. Joan A. read more

Dr. Hoffman was very attentive during my root canal, making sure that I wasn't in any pain and walking me through the procedure. I'd also heard horror stories about getting a root canal, but Dr. Hoffman made the procedure simple and virtually painless. I had very minimal soreness after the procedure and was very pleased with the job she did. In my opinion you can't get any better than Dr. Hoffman -- highly recommended! read more

Dr Hoffman is wonderful. I recently had my first root canal that I had been putting off for months because I was so terrified. She is warm, kind and puts a great deal of effort into ensuring you are not in pain. She was referred to me for both her expertise and her patience and she surpassed my expectations. Her receptionist and other staff were also lovely which is another huge plus. read more

Dr. Hoffman and her staff are amazing. Not only is Dr. Hoffman a super pro at her specialty but she is also a wonderful human being. She takes an interest in you as a person, not just the specifics of a procedure that you need done. She and her staff are wonderful. read more

I'm shocked to see so many positive reviews here. My experience was the complete opposite of everything else I see written about her by others here. If I could give zero stars, I would. To start, she was a full hour late to my appointment !!! She greeted me with a limp, feeble, skittish handshake and her apology was weak and insincere. She barely looked at the x-rays that my dentist had sent over. She interrupted me twice during my explanation of why I was there, which showed me that she wasn't listening to me at all. She showed absolutely no interest in me personally, let alone my dental problem. Her evaluation took all of three minutes and her curt diagnosis that I need a root canal was delivered with no clear explanation and completely lacking any thoughtfulness or compassion. She was condescending, rude, and completely unpleasant. My questions were met with abusive, and insensitive responses. How could I possibly trust a diagnosis from someone like this and why would anyone want someone like this giving them a root canal? No thank you. On a positive note, all the women on her staff were pleasant, professional, and kind. read more
