She seems solely motivated by her unparallelled avariciousness. God forbid you miss an appointment…read moreto attend a funeral - she will demand that you 'make up' that appointment - or pay her $160.65. She is not above intimidating her patients, telling them repeatedly that she is "very angry" with them, and generally bullying them by speaking over them, louder and louder, until the poor patient capitulates, is her modus operendi. I would run the other way if offered an appointment with this psychiatrist. I began to dread days when I had an appointment with her. I came to believe that if she were the last therapist of any stripe in the universe, that I'd be better off talking to a soup can. In fact, my mood brightened as soon as I saw the last of her.

For years I have underachieved scholastically and professionally due to ADD. While I have always been intelligent and flexible, I have always been dogged by distractability - making it difficult for me to complete tasks and manage my time effectively. Although my natural talents have allowed me to be relatively successful in my field, I have always known that I could be so much better if I could get control of my focus. After several weeks of seeing Dr. Hoffer, I noted substantially increased focus, with the ability to sit down for several hours at a stretch working on one project, which is something that I have never been able to do before. Dr. Hoffer *is* pharmaceutically focused, so if you believe that psycho-pharmacological drugs are inherently "bad" - he may not be the doctor for you. However, I can report that under his care, I have been able to significantly increase my focus and productivity, which is positively affecting my life. I have no reason to argue with success. I would highly recommend Dr. Hoffer for people who suffer from ADD.

In my case he misdiagnosed me as having ADHD and his stimulant medications worsened my actual condition. I was admitted to the hospital and told by 3 different doctors that I do not have ADHD. Hoffer has severe conditions imposed on his licence by the College and will likely have more when I report him soon.

I agree with many of the other negative reviews for the doctor. She doesn't listen to you, goes off…read morein tangents about her landlord,COVID, the price if tomatoes, you name it. She doesn't seem to understand people, eats during sessions, changes from subject to subject and quite honestly, creates an image in her head of what she thinks you're like, which is completely off the wall and so far from the truth when she gives it to you as feedback. She's argumentative, cuts you off and doesn't really seem like she wants to be there and just generally comes across as incendiary and annoying. She's not helpful, she forgets everything you've told her from the previous session and is just overall unlikeable, borderline mean.
