Doctor Hoffman and his team are AMAZING! I LOVE my results and everyone made me feel super happy and comfortable!

Best doctor ever . I met him when I was 4 years old and he did everything in his power to help me and I will forever be grateful for him . There is no dollar amount that can equal what he has done for me . Thank you Dr. Hoffman . read more

I a 31 y.o female 5 2 about 108 pounds with no health problems . For initial consults it's at least an hour wait. I wanted a lift because I had breastfed two children. Dr H did not recommend a lift but I advocated it was necessary because I didn't want droopy implants. I eventually got lift and 250 cc implants because I just wanted perky breasts and size was less important. The surgery was a complete fail and months later I had to have a do over. This time with a little bigger implants but still left with saggy breasts where I have no profile and must wear a bra. The joke of it all is the office wants me to pay for another surgery to have more lifted breasts. Save your money and your time! read more

I have referred multiple clients who demanded to see the best plastic surgeon. I can sparingly say that all patients have been extremely satisfied with the results of Dr. Hoffman's works. Khalil Fattahi, MD read more

I had a consultation with Dr. Hoffman for a procedure, and after he detailed the surgery, I asked a question when prompted. I asked, " how long will it take for me to look and feel normal again?" And Daryl K. Hoffman told me my question, "was stupid" STUPID!! Absolutely ridiculous! He was incredibly condescending and offensive, and I would never recommend a friend to even consider making a consultation. read more

Dr Hoffman performed liposuction procedure on me 5 months ago. I am very satisfied with the results. Dr Hoffman is really an expert! His team - the office ladies, the nurse and the anesthesiologist - are all very nice and helpful! I would highly recommend Dr Hoffman to anyone who is thinking about liposuction procedure. read more

This review is absolutely overdue... like many years overdue. I went to two other consults before I really decided to go with Dr. Hoffman. I was recommended by a friend. The reasons why I choose him: 1) He's absolutely honesty. He was 100% honest about my options, my size, and his recommendations. And he always gave explanations of why he suggested or said these things. He listed out my pros and cons. And he always provided his honest feedback or his personal experience. Compared to other MDs that I went to see, I felt like other doctors tried to push me into getting it done with them. While my experience with Dr. Hoffman, I never felt pressured or pushed into signing up with him. Dr. Hoffman actually did two consults with me because I felt unsure. And their staff was so sweet to let me do an extra fitting because I started having doubts. He and his staff are so approachable and supportive. He was willing to advise me and do extra follow up visits when I had a few issues that came up. 2) His staff is amazing. From the front desk, to the consultation, the financing part, his nurses, and even at the recovery. ALL SIMPLY AMAZING! 3) Process was easy. You do your consult, finalize your choices/options, figure out your payment, schedule, and get it done! Finally, I have recommended at least 3 others to him and they were all happy with their results. They all looking amazing and had nothing, but positive things to say about him. I definitely will be coming back to him if I need anything else! read more

This review is for the consultation and initial phone interaction only. I did not end up being treated by Dr. Hoffman. Let me get the Pros out of the way. My interaction with Dr. Hoffman was fine. He was pleasant, professional and answered all of my questions during the consultation. So why did I decide not to move forward with the procedure? Read on.... When I called to make my consultation appointment, I was put on hold for a longer than average time. As a matter of fact, I hung up figuring that if this was a taste of their customer service, I wanted no further. Thus I was surprised when my phone rang a few minutes later and the caller ID showed "Plastic Surgeon" - is a doctor's office supposed to Star 69 you?? (Let me insert my first editorial point here: Out of respect for the patient's privacy, their number should be private. What if I had room mates, or this was a work number, do I want my personal business for all who scroll through the Caller ID log to see?) I have to admit, the message left on my VM was very apologetic for putting me on hold for so long and I was persuaded to give this establishment another chance. Because hey, maybe someone called in sick and they were under staff.....let me not judge too harshly. I was looking forward to my consultation and arrived 5 minutes early. I stood at the window for about 2 minutes waiting for the receptionist to LOOK UP from talking on the phone to acknowledge and/or check me in. No luck. 30 more seconds past and another person appeared, greeted me and gave me some paperwork to fill out. While this second person was pleasant and friendly, I could not help but notice she was dressed as if she was on her way to a club. I'm not a prude BUT I want my doctor's staff to look professional and credible, not someone who could double for a hostess at a Vegas night club. This was when my uneasiness kicked into high gear and I started to question the restraint and taste of the medical staff. After all, the difference between a frozen face and a "believable" face is a mere injection apart. After 45 minutes of waiting, I was finally shown to a consultation room and Dr. Hoffman came in shortly after (see Pros section above). Following the consultation, I met with Leanna to go over cost and other details. She too was very nice and professional. I asked for two references and she said she would have those to me by the end of the day. It's been about a week since my consultation and I still have not gotten names of the two references. Here's the straw that broke the camel's back. When I came onto Yelp to do research on Dr. Hoffman, I came across glowing reviews. But when I looked a little closer, I realized that "Leanna W" - the person who left a 5 star review, is the SAME PERSON WHO WORKS AT THE OFFICE. In addition, the other positive reviewers for the San Jose office are friends! This seemed very suspicious to me and completely blew their credibility. In closing, I could have over looked the long wait on the phone, the 1st inattentive receptionist, the 2nd improperly dressed for a medical office receptionist and the long wait to see the doctor. But when you combine all that with questionable glowing reviews and a failure to deliver references as promised, it's enough to tip the scale in the negative. read more

So right off the bat I am not the typical cosmetic patients. I am 55 need to lose some weight, a guy, mostly do not look in mirrors etc. My experiences with Dr Hoffman and his office started a few years ago when a dermatologist told me I needed to deal with some early skin changes. I ended up getting an evaluation and high resolution face photos done by Dr Hoffman which demonstrated the extent of the skin damage. The first step was a fraxel facial laser treatment. Amazing. It was so great I did the full package of four and am getting ready to do again now that several years have passed. It took an easy ten years off my face with no down time at all. I encourage anyone who wants to look younger to investigate these treatments. I have also had my hands done which made a huge difference in removing sun damage and "old man hands" The staff is friendly and available and Dr Hoffman goes out of his way to make it a great experience. recently I had a bit of a scare with a "lymphoma" type lump. Long story short lots of tests and biopsies and scans. End of the story was I needed a chunk of thigh taken out. Dr Hoffman did a fantastic job turning what would have been a shark bite into a a beautiful closure without a hitch. I now can see just a thin 8 inch line on my leg and now always put that leg forward in photos! All in all the man is very talented at what he does and I encourage you to give them a call if you looking for any type of enhancement read more

I originally saw Dr. Hoffman for a consultation several years ago and appreciated his honesty when he referred me to another surgeon for the first procedure I wanted because he thought it would best be done paired with a separate procedure that involved another specialist. In the fall of 2015, Dr. Hoffman performed a major procedure (and much bigger than the first) on me and I'm very pleased with the experience and thrilled with the results. Dr. Hoffman's team from his front office, patient manager, nurses, and anesthesiologists are nothing but the best. Dr. Hoffman has an excellent eye, and is a meticulous surgeon. I will definitely choose him for plastic surgery again, and recommend him without hesitation. I mean to post this back in 2015, but looks like I forgot to hit the post button! read more

Dr. Hoffman is simply the best around. I have all my work done by him getting my body back to before baby status and I have never once had a problem. All his work looks natural (I even went from and A to a D and people still think I haven't had anything done) and he will give you an honest opinion of what he can and can't do. You will be amazed at the quality of service and care this man and his staff provide. Shop around and you will see he is the top choice! read more

I had a breast augmentation done by Dr Hoffman and I love them! I had "tuberous" extremely uneven breasts before (and I breast fed) so my breasts caused me to have a lot of insecurities....and now they are absolutely beautiful. I don't regret this surgery in the least, it has really helped my self esteem and I highly recommend Dr Hoffman, he is so talented, always respectful and his staff is always so nice! read more

Liz Padilla, RN completed my Fraxel treatment & Botox. Both were executed professional & with great care. The follow up with Liz was exceptional. I did briefly meet Dr. Hoffman & he was warm, friendly & professional. The treatments did not require Dr Hoffman's hand but rather by an RN. Liz is wonderful for the best results you are looking for, listens to what you want & is detailed to the treatments & your best interests. read more

Best money I've ever spent. I'm 5'8 with an athletic build and also have a physical job, so I didn't want huge tits, just nice ones. I literally just had nipples before I saw Hoffman, haha. Anyway I was nervous of going too big so I almost chose some that were too small but his assistant talked me into going a size up. Another good call. They are SO perfect and proportionate to my body. I told them what I wanted and they delivered. Thank you again to Hoffman and his team! read more

Dr Hoffman's skill and experience are beyond compare. He has an eye and skill for obtaining a natural and youthful look for his patients. I had talked to several of his patients before I decided to see him. He explained clearly my options to me, specifically in regards to what was reasonable and cost effective. My expectations following his treatment were far exceeded. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering cosmetic surgery or aesthetic services. read more

Dr Hoffman is the best plastic surgeon ever! He did a fantastic job with my cancer reconstruction surgery 5 years ago. When I went to see him to do a slight revision recently, he has been awesome about it. He is fair about his fee, and really cares about cancer survivors! His office staff is also nice and professional. He can also do botox, and other plastic surgery type procedures/products! He spends a ton of time with you and is very personable. Update 10/12, Every time I see this doctor, I am blown away by how caring and wonderful he is. He is also very meticulous about his work and his results are incredible. He is warm, caring, and has great bedside manner. He is the best plastic surgeon in the Bay Area by far! read more

Daryl Hoffman, MD is a true cosmetic surgery artist! I have had the pleasure of several procedures by Dr. Hoffman. Each time the results have been excellent. I love the new Fraxel machine. The texture and look of my skin appears 20 years younger. I had a mole removed from my face. There is no visible scar. I also had laser liposuction. What a fabulous procedure. Truly cellulite free result. I'm heading there today to have Botox injections. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman has a very professional manner. His staff Terry and Rosie are the best. I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman. read more

I just completed a series of 4 TempSure treatments, and I'm in love with my results! The treatment is a like having a hot-stone massage to your face --don't be surprised if you are so relaxed you want to drift off! Over the course of the treatment my skin has become noticeably tighter and smoother, crow's feet, lines and pores are smoother. I feel like I have a permanent youthful glow with no downtime or evasive surgery! Lorraine is wonderful, she is an expert nurse and TempSure technician. Dr. Hoffman and his staff are the best of the best and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my treatments, they are trustworthy and caring and deliver an excellent result every time. read more

When I found myself with a plastic surgery nightmare on a Sunday morning, my doctor came though for me immediately! I was seen first thing Monday morning and in surgery that Thursday. This is highly commendable especially since Dr. Hoffman is usually booked out for surgery months in advance depending on the season. But he made special accommodations for me, simply because waiting would not have a positive outcome, medically but mostly aesthetically. Everything went smoothly as possible and I emerged better than before! I never question his work or his decisions. He goes with the best possible option, with his sound judgment based on years and years of experience. He is not the cheapest doctor for sure. But if you want your body in the hands of the Best of the Best, then don't look any further. You cannot put a price on perfection and that is what Dr. Hoffman is known for. Him and his "magician hands." Ask around. read more

I had my an enhancement done dec 23 2011 and I will definetly recommend Daryl Hoffman. He did exactly what I wanted and treated me with respect and actually listened. Other doctors not naming names but treated me like I was a little girl and couldn't afford what I wanted. In summary they look amazing and seriously at least talk to him for a consultation at least you will be happy great guy!!!!! read more

He is an angel to me . What an amazing doctor(and very handsome too ,may I add) He is very professional with years of experience . He also does reconstruction for breast cancer patients. He genuinely cares for his patients. He is not just trying to get money from you either. He will not do a surgery just because you want it , let be clear about that. He is incredibly honest . After reading his reviews, may I point out , if you read "Robyn B".'s review , I just wanna say it's her loss . "Leanna W" did work for him , but she was also a patient before and during, which I found personally easing to know what someone else's experience was like . And she looked awesome! And even if some of the other reviews are "friends of the office", have you thought that they were referred to him and became pleased patients for that reason ?! ! I would just ignore a review from someone that didn't even become a patient. About 3 of my friends (at least) saw him were amazed by his work . Another friend of mine that became a patient loved him so her sister and mom did too!. They were all very pleased and brag about him. Anyway , I would definitely go back to him over and over , he is the only one I trust. I will probably be making a appointment for botox soon , just so I can see him and say hello. :-) read more

My experience was amazing from the moment I walked in for a consultation. Dr. Hoffman took the time to address all my concerns and questions. It's not about $$$. He does extraordinary work and takes great care of his patients. Worth every $$$. Love this Dr. and his staff....;) His staff is so sweet, positive and supportive. To be honest, Dr. Hoffman was the second doctor I met for a consultation. I had two other appointments lined up for the same week. After meeting Dr. Hoffman, I felt like I was in the right place. I was excited every step of the way even right before surgery. After surgery, I was in pain but motivated to get better fast. Barely any swelling but that's also because I'm small to begin with. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Just talking to him, I could tell he was highly skilled at what he does and a true artist with his hands. What I also liked about Dr. Hoffman was his honesty. I had such a great experience with Dr. Hoffman. I am so happy with my results! My surgery was only 2 weeks ago and I can already see major results. He's an amazing plastic surgeon. Couldn't have picked a better doctor! Karen (his assistant) was very helpful and got me scheduled quickly. She was very helpful with any questions I had before surgery. Thank you, Dr. Hoffman, for your magnificent work. And Karen and staff, thank you for all your support, understanding, and friendliness. There couldn't be a better TEAM. I would 100% recommend Dr. Hoffman if you want a caring, attentive and truthful Dr. who will give you the time and attention you are looking for. I am absolutely in love with my results and will return one day for another procedure as needed. read more

I am very pleased with Dr Hoffman work. I think he did a great job! I had a smartlipo on my stomach, inner thighs and knees. All the staff was very professional and caring. All my questions were answered. I also appreciated that Dr Hoffman was very honest about what can be or can not be done. He was not pushy. He took the time to listen to me and made sure he understood my needs. I was a bit apprehensive but the whole experience was very positive because Dr Hoffman as well as all his staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him!!! read more

Daryl and his nurses and coordinators are absolutely amazing. I required multiple surgeries to remove a number of benign tumors for both cosmetic and clinical reasons. Dr Hoffman's work was better in every way than the other experts in the bay area. His surgery was faster, his excisions were much smaller, the heal time was much faster and the scars were practically invisible after a couple of months. Really, he was superb. His office staff were also superb since I required multiple surgeries with a very difficult schedule. They were organized and extremely helpful and understanding. All round so impressive. read more

As good as it gets is right...If I could visit them everyday and have them make me feel and look younger I would!! A little bit about me, I'm today's Botox and Fraxel patient, and tomorrow's facelift patient, so I take great comfort in going to a plastic surgeon whom I trust and know is competent and great at what he does, and will take great care of me now and over time! Dr. Hoffman and his team are amazing! Probably what I find most impressive is that whether I'm getting Botox or having a light procedure done with his nurse, Liz, they actually listen to what it is i'm trying to convey. They do a great job of making sure my expectations match what they can do for me. Dr. Hoffman always seems to give me enough of whatever it is I'm in for without going overboard..I think he might be magic that way ;-) I've always left a happy patient, they alway call and follow up with me to make sure i'm doing Ok, and the results are always as I like them-perfect! My appointments are always in the Palo Alto office and it's very nice, and Orla is always at the front desk to greet me with a smile and ask me how i've been...His team is sooo friendly, beautiful and competent! If you're looking for a great plastic surgeon who has a phenomenal eye for aesthetics and beauty, I would consult Dr. Hoffman and his team...they're the best! read more

I have been under Dr. Hoffman's care since 8/4/09. I had a breast lift, tummy tuck, and lipo suction. It took me two years of consideration, research, persuasion of my husband and time to muster up the courage to have this work done. My only regret is that I did not have it done sooner. The work Dr. Hoffman did is PERFECTION! My breasts are amazing. They are round and firm. They are beautiful. My husband said it was the best money he has ever spent! That is a lot coming from a man who did not want his wife to have surgery. My stomach has never been so flat. Dr. Hoffman is a very talented surgeon. The Lipo Suction...no bruising. As for me, I could not be happier. Dr. Hoffman's bedside manner is very warm and I felt comfortable with him. His staff is kind and caring. They are a great team. You will be in wonderful hands with them. I made a fabulous decision by going with Dr. Hoffman and his team. It has given me renewed confidence. Sincerely. Amanda read more

Had two major procedures (under anesthesia), plus some minor revisions in the past year. Dr. Hoffman did an excellent job on all. He was thoughtful, answered all questions and, from the results, clearly very skillful. And the outcomes are very natural-looking. I look like I did before, only much better! I am very pleased with the results; could not ask for better. His staff also was very competent and pleasant to work with. I would say Dr. Hoffman has given me a new lease on life. read more

DR. Hoffman is so detailed and thorough with every procedure! His breast augmentation is I believe #1 in the states! I work with various surgeons and I think his work is the best I have seen. I sent many of my friends and family membors for breast augmentation and they are all so happy and look amazing! If you want to go to a true artist with exceptional talent I would choose him without a dought. His staff is so sweet and accommodating as well. Orla and Liz are so kind and make you feel so welcome. Liz is amazing with her fillers and transforms you into a goddess after she's done with you! This office is the best!!! read more

Whoa, it's getting near summer. Time to break out the workout gear and think about doing everything I can to look better. And this means check in with Dr. Hoffman to see what he thinks could be improved. I've been to his office for surgery, microdermabrasion and Botox -- and would anyone know? I think not . "Wow, you look great." is what I hear. I send all of my friends and family to Dr. Hoffman. He has a wonderful eye for improving what you have -- whether it's augmentation, slimming, smoothing or removing -- and a great sense of humor to keep you comfortable and confident that you'll look great. Gotta love that. read more

Brillant doctor and staff, highly recommend! Ended up booking my procedure two days after my consult. I knew I was in good hands from the start and felt good about my choice. Excellent follow up and he is very honest as far as expectations. I am very pleased and only wished I came in sooner! I will be back! read more

I am very happy with my results .Dr. Hoffman did a wonderful job! He listened to me and answered all my questions and concerns. My surgery went very well and my recovery was fast. After I met him I knew he will be my PS. The Staff at the office and at the surgical center were wonderful. I Think Dr Hoffmann is the best!! read more

Dr. Hoffman is a great Doctor and recommend him - 5 stars for him. But service on the phone being put on hold for a long time. The blonde lady in the office was not professional, dressed inappropriate for a doctors office. read more

I just had my second cosmetic procedure with Dr Hoffman and I am so pleased. He is so skilled in his ability and provides a natural look to his procedures. I have recommended several friends and they are all very pleased with their outcomes. I would highly recommend you consult with him when considering any cosmetic procedure. read more

Dr. Hoffman did a lipo for me , and after 2 procedures my flanks still there , and I'm not that big person, 5'3', 122 lbs. Also made a mistake of doing Juvederm and Botox that I regret greatly . I wanted J-m on my cheeks and B-x forehead and neck . The result of these simple procedures , that I've successfully done few times before at a different place,was a month of heavy bruising ,and when it was gone , I got my right eye smaller than the other, both eyes inner corner drooped . The reason was J-m was injected under my right eye that I've never asked for , supposed to be a cheek ! He realized at the procedure he did it wrong and tried to adjust it down , pulling and squeezing hard, that was where I got all the bruises. Also Dr. does not have an understanding of how B-x works, that's why I got all the drooping. What strikes me the most, doctor didn't even feel bad about what he has done and suggested me to be happy about my smooth forehead , and I didn't have any wrinkles in that area, I use B-x as preventative. Basically he had no boundaries to say any nonsense he could come up with to defend himself. He issued the full refund though. I's been almost 2 months since then and I dread every morning to look into a mirror. Makeup routine that used to take 15 mins, takes now an hour to camouflage results of these treatment, or should I say mistreatment. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Hoffman. I have been seeing him for 10 years, and he's done everything from a breast augmentation, Botox, liposuction, and most recently, a tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction again. I would never, ever, ever go to anyone else. He is an incredibly professional and great surgeon. I got pregnant after my breast augmentation and I was afraid that I may not be able to breast feed, but I was! I breast fed both of my kids for over a year, and my breast were in such great shape that even my OB/GYN was super impressed! He takes a lot of pride in what he does, and his staff could not be any nicer or professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Upon meeting with him, you will know that he is the best of the best! read more

First and foremost, this is a real review and no this isn't a staff member.. I made a new yelp account because I would like to keep my surgery confidential. I came to Dr. Hoffman after doing a lot research about smart lipo. I've been thinking about getting lipoplasty for many years now and finally had the guts to go in for a consultation. I chose to have surgery by Dr. Hoffman because I felt very comfortable during consultation with the doc and Orla, who is the sweeetest and most caring patient care cordinator ever! Doc was very honest on which areas of my abdomen should be done, listened to the areas I hated the most, and was not pushy at all. Instead of pushing me to get additional lipo on my back and a tummy tuck, Dr. Hoffman told me a tummy tuck isn't realistic for my age... I really appreciated his honesty and I knew instantly I could trust him with my first surgery. He also suggested that I should go under general anesthesia rather than local because he wanted the best results for me and I am glad I picked that route. The day prior to surgery, the nurse and the anesthesiologist called me with instructions and answered any questions I had. On the day of surgery (5/8), I was scared and nervous but everyone was reassuring. Once the anesthesiologist gave me my "cocktail," I was out! Woke up and was on my way home. Recovery time went well. I was bruised, swollen, and was in a little bit of pain but it really wasn't bad. I only took a couple of prescribed pain meds for the first two days, by the third day, though it still hurts, the pain was tolerable even with movement. I am currently still following up with him but let's just say I am very happy with the results of this surgery :) If you are looking for a certified plastic surgeon who is skilled and only specializes in what s/he does best, Dr. Hoffman is person you're looking for! read more

I will save you a lot of homework: Go with Dr. Hoffman. No need to give yourself the same headache I went through in researching; fishing through all reviews and all procedures and all doctors, and then still worrying you did not find the right one. Even if you have to travel out a ways for the surgery, like I did, it is well worth it. I went to Dr. Hoffman because his track record is so good; he has outstanding credentials. Here was my list to look for, in order of importance: 1) Board Certified Plastic surgeon 2) Education of surgeon 3) Experience of surgeon 4) Hospital qualification 5) Location of surgeon (is he close enough to me?) 6) Price of procedure For me, the research to narrow it down took months, but I can see that Hoffman's other patients found what I found: he is the best around. The office staff was always excellent to me. They are friendly, patient, helpful, amazing. Orla Cloherty explained everything to me. She walked me through every step, and she answered my many emails promptly. She was wonderful. The surgeon is the key person to make your surgery a success, and Dr. Hoffman is the best. He did an excellent job on my midsection lipo. I am getting plenty of compliments! So glad I went here! read more

I have had lovely experiences with Dr. Hoffman and his nursing staff. He is very professional, does not come off like a "salesman," and sets clear realistic expectations. He isn't the type of Doctor who spends his time chatting with you, but carefully examining details (I see this is a major plus!). I highly recommend his services and entire staff. read more

I have not had personal experience with Dr. Hoffman as a surgeon, however, I have seen Dr. Hoffman for med spa treatments. I received botox and collagen injections that gave me the desired results I was after. Dr. Hoffman has a great eye for not overdoing it, so when I leave his office, I look fresher and younger without the appearance of having had anything done. I have friends who have used Dr. Hoffman for tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and liposuction, and each friend has been extremely positive about their results and their experience with his office staff. Dr. Hoffman is kind, gentle and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend him. read more

I was referred to Dr. Hoffman through Drssayyes.com. I was very apprehensive. Getting plastic surgery is a very big decision and you really need to trust your surgeon to give you your desired results. I just simply cant say enough about Dr. Hoffman. I had a lift and implants and 5 years later, and after having a baby the work still looks amazing! I will be going back very soon for a tummy tuck. BTW - a close friend of mine also has had a lift, implants and a tummy tuck by Dr. Hoffman and had twins after all this work and having twins did not undo his work! He is highly recommended by me and my friend!! read more
