“I have zero regrets”

stars 5 Star Rating – Written on August 29, 2022
After consulting with 3 doctors, I decided to go forward with the procedure with Dr. Hoffman and I am so glad I did! One of my biggest concerns was looking fake but he delivered a noticeable and natural result that I think will age well with my body. I also appreciated that he is hands on throughout the care experience- from the initial consultation to each follow up appointment.

I have zero regrets about the procedure or Dr. Hoffman and his staff. Everyone has been wonderful and at 3 months post-op, I have to say I look great!

I was very satisfied with the whole process. Dr. Hoffman and his staff were wonderful from start to finish. I look and feel amazing!! This was something that bothered me for as long as I could remember. My self confidence has improved greatly and I can finally wear clothing and swimsuits that I love and feel comfortable in. I highly recommend getting a labiaplasty if this is something you struggle with as well.

Went to Dr Hoffman’s office looking for better skin appearance. Lauren was a great Aesthetican and devised a plan for me. She did dermaplaning and also removed blackheads and a milia. Then she gave me a Clear Lift treatment. My skin feels soft and smooth already. I will be coming back in a month to have IPL treatment to my brown spots. Getting ready to look my best this summer! Dr Hoffman recommended Injectables which I will try on my next visit to give fullness where age has depleted it. Great experience and no pain.

Dr. Hoffman & Staff

I would like to take the time to thank Dr. Hoffman and his staff for the awesome and immediate care I received when I was bitten on my top lip by my own beloved dog.

The bite was so severe I was told by E.R. I would need to see a Plastic Surgeon immediately.

Dr. Hoffman’s office was so professional and they took good care of me.

I was/am so grateful I chose this Dr’s office in my time of need. I am healed now after a month and the scarring is minimal. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hoffman to family and friends.

Dr Hoffman made me feel comfortable from the moment that I met him. His staff was terrific and his office suite is amazing. His professionalism and bedside manner is only outdone by his skill as a surgeon. I met Dr Hoffman by referral from a breast surgeon- as I was having a double mastectomy. Dr Hoffman was frank about my options, supportive with my decisions, and fantastic as a support for me afterwards. I actually looked forward to my appointments because he always was willing to answer my questions, even though many of them were scientific. He loves the science, he knows it, and it is evident in his technique and skill. He truly is top-notch! I have recommended him to everyone now.

“Worth It”

stars 5 Star Rating – Written on April 18, 2018

Dr. Hoffman and his staff are fabulous! Going to their office for a consult was a pleasure. I went there numerous times as I worked up the nerve to go through with breast augmentation; something I had considered for years, but was not ready to explore seriously until after my childbearing years. Dr. Hoffman was always punctual, with one exception, when he keep me waiting after a surgery ran late, and he took it unpon himself to apologize for the delay (no other doctor has ever been so respectful). There is no pressure to go through with the procedure from either Dr. Hoffman or any of his staff members. I was always treated as a valued potential patient and provided with detailed explanations of the procedure/implants and my questions and concerns were addressed thoroughly. He was very patient with me; I really had a tough time convincing myself that I was making the right decision. Now, several years later, I can say that I am so glad I made the decision to take care of myself! I am very happy with my results and with my experience all together.

Dr. Hoffman did an excellent job. Walked me through the procedure, made me feel comfortable and confident about the procedure, was concerned for my well-being, knowledgeable and has a pleasant personality. I had several hernia repairs at another hospital the doctor seemed annoyed with me and my condition. I no longer cared for his demeanor so I left and came to Lankenau. Dr. Hoffman was brought in by another doctor because I needed a specific type of hernia repair. He was able to put me at ease concerning my situation. I was very pleased with everything.

“Dear Dr. Ryan Hoffman and Staff,

Thank you!

As a patient, going through any type of medical procedure or surgery, it is helpful to have a team of medical personnel that is caring and understanding. Beginning with Dr. Hoffman, who did not jump to any conclusions during my initial examination of the growth, lipoma; he sent me for additional tests to confirm the diagnosis and try not to have any surprises before going into surgery. Dr. Hoffman eased my fears, one step at a time. Answered my questions and guided me through each step of the way. Then, once I considered taking the additional steps to also include a tummy tuck, I felt reassured that this would be a good choice for me. All the way through the processes the kindness of your staff, including Bette (getting answers to all my telephone questions), Joy (getting me through the insurance process), and your medical assistants for making me feel at ease, has been amazing. You have a very knowledgeable and professional staff with a personal touch. Thank you all!

Some of your above and beyond touches, Dr. Hoffman, thank you for your patience in allowing my sisters to come to my appointments and ask questions; for maintaining contact with my sister after surgery and through the ICU step-down process. The nurses were also on top of everything! Then you called me to check in and tell me to call you if I needed anything….WOW!

I wanted to let you and the girls know how much I appreciate everything you did to get me through this. Please keep up the good work!

My body may still not be perfect, however my self esteem has been elevated to my perfect place! Thank you and God bless you!”

With warmest regards

“When I decided to have breast augmentation surgery, I rigorously researched different plastic surgeons based on their cosmetic specialties, professional memberships, residency and fellowship trainings, as well their current hospital surgical privileges. I narrowed my search down to two plastic surgeons to meet in-person for a consultation; and Dr. Hoffman was a perfect fit for me. He spent the time to answer my notebook full of questions, and believe me, I brought was a long list of questions. He showed me the implant products, walked me through the procedure, and explained the post-op care. From beginning to end, Dr. Hoffman and his staff were always incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. I have had my implants for 3 years now and I have been incredibly happy with the results. They are literally perfect and I owe their perfection to Dr. Hoffman’s surgical skills.”

His office was clean and the staff was very professional. Dr. Hoffman was very sensitive and attentive to my needs as I was looking for him to replace my implants and fix a procedure that was not done well. As a breast cancer survivor my primary focus was my well being. I saw Dr. Hoffman because I had a leakage. I always had problems with symmetry since my first reconstruction surgery almost ten years now. I expressed my concerns with him and he assured me that he could help me.

I had been thinking about breast reduction for a long time but never did anything about it until my 21 year old niece had it done last year. Dr. Hoffman was recommended to me by my primary physician.

I am extremely pleased with the results of my surgery and am sorry I didn’t do this sooner.

“Having Dr. Ryan Hoffman perform my hernia repair and tummy tuck was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Dr. Hoffman and his entire staff are highly professional, and explained every step of the process in detail, making sure to listen to and address any concerns I may have had. I felt their genuine concern for my care and well-being.

As a young breast cancer survivor (37 at diagnosis), the most important things to me were receiving compassionate care and having my body restored to a satisfactory level post-mastectomy–and knowing that my surgeon had just as high expectations for my end result as I do.

“I am an active 47 year old mother and wife. I have had large breasts since I was young girl and I have always disliked how they interfered with everything, from playing sports to easily finding bras and clothing that fit well. The older I got the larger my breasts became and my dislike for them grew to pure hatred. I hated how heavy they made me look and feel, and how they appeared in clothes and bathing suits.

So, I finally decided to do something about it. I asked friends and doctors if they knew people and patients who had had breast reduction surgery. I found several women of varying ages who had the procedure and they all told me it was the best thing they had ever done. I was then very motivated to move forward.

My dermatologist highly recommended Dr. Hoffman to me. A friend recommended her plastic surgeon that had performed her breast reduction several years prior. Long story short, I saw both doctors and I was told I was an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery.

One of my biggest concerns about breast reduction surgery was the cost. I was able to proceed if my insurance would pay for the surgery.

I saw Dr. Hoffman first and I immediately liked him and his staff. He and his staff were warm, personable and very professional. They put me at ease right away. I had a million questions and lots of concerns about everything; from the actual procedure, the recovery process to insurance coverage. Dr. Hoffman was exceedingly patient, kind and thorough. I so appreciated him taking his time with me and answering every question I had. The ladies on his staff were also kind and thorough. I was very comfortable with everyone from having the pictures taken for insurance purposes to having my measurements done to answering questions with his office manager regarding schedule time frames to the insurance approval process.

A week later I saw the other plastic surgeon that my friend had used and really liked. My immediate reaction walking into his office was that it was very luxurious and the waiting room had quite a few people waiting in it. Once I was taken back, I met with a few different female staff members who were polite and professional. I was then moved to another room to meet with staff for questions and to look at portfolios. I finally met with the doctor in an examination room. He was nice but a little too slick for my taste. He wore an expensive suit and shoes and was very matter of fact. I then moved to a final person and we discussed scheduling and insurance. I basically felt like I was in an assembly line process. It felt cold and odd to me especially after my experience with Dr. Hoffman and his staff.

It was very easy for me to make my decision. I chose Dr. Hoffman. My gut and my head both told me I was making the right decision for me. His office has been amazing to work with from getting my insurance approval within 10 days to scheduling my surgery at a time that worked for me.

It has been two months since my surgery and I am thrilled with my results. I went from an H cup to a single D and my breasts are lifted and perky again. I have been asked by many people “have you lost weight? You look terrific!”. Most importantly, I am over the moon happy with how I feel about how my breasts look to me-undressed and in clothes.

In addition, Dr. Hoffman has been excellent in his post-op care for me. Although it can take up to six months for the final outcome, I know I made the right decision to have Dr. Hoffman as my plastic surgeon for my breast reduction.

I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman to my friends and family.”

“I recently had breast augmentation surgery performed by Dr. Hoffman and I couldn’t be happier with my results. From the first consultation to the follow up appointment, Dr. Hoffman was amazing. Everything was explained extensively and I always felt that if I had a question or concern both before and after the surgery, I could call him and he would respond quickly. I am glad to say that I made the right choice with Dr. Hoffman and I highly recommend him to others.”

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty and Rhytidectomy

stars 5 Star Rating – Written on January 30, 2016

At age 59 I knew I wanted to take at least 10 years off the age of my looks before I turned 60 this summer. So I went to visit three plastic surgeons on the Main Line, one of whom was Dr. Hoffman. I chose Dr. Hoffman. The first reason I chose him is that he listened to my concerns and my goals. I asked for an upper and lower blepharoplasty, to rid my eyes of bags, wrinkles, and overhanging skin. I also wanted a rhytidectomy, to take away the hanging sagging skin on my neck. I had missed wearing necklines that exposed my neck. I expressed that I wanted only to look younger, not 25 or 35! He truly understood. His approach is conservative and very careful. Both other doctors I consulted acted as if they understood me, but then they each told me how they would proceed by taking fat from my stomach to resculpt my cheeks, pull this, fix that, since, as one of them said, “Your face is asymmetrical!” Both of the other surgeons said that I would need a lot more fat transfer from other parts of my body and that the entire surgery would take at least 7 hours. By contrast, Dr. Hoffman said the surgery would take 4 hours, and he INSISTED that I stay at Lankenau Hospital for the first night in case anything were to go wrong. Neither of the other doctors insisted on an overnight in the hospital. That sent up red flags to me that neither of them was as careful as Dr. Hoffman. I am so happy I did stay in Lankenau! I had nausea from the anesthesia, and the nurses took very good care of me. The next morning I was well, and I went home.

Another reason I chose Dr. Hoffman is that he did not say that he was going to refashion my entire face! He understood that I want to look like a younger me, not get an entire new face. In fact I have always liked my face! I perceived that he understands the person, he does not try to re-form a person to look like the Hollywood, cookie-cutter type.

The post-op care from Dr. Hoffman was attentive, thorough, kind, and helpful. I had a long recovery since it was such major surgery, and early on I needed much reassurance. Dr. Hoffman was there every step of the way. By 6 weeks I was entertaining house guests, and everyone said I looked great but not one person asked or hinted at my having had surgery! It was, rather is, a marvelous success! At 3 months and counting I feel like a new me, renewed and happy with my looks, now that the wrinkles and sags are gone. I cannot thank Dr. Hoffman enough. He REALLY knows what he is doing, and in a field that has so much media hype, false promises, and promotions of “one-look-fits-all,” Dr. Hoffman is truly superior above the rest in his professionalism, surgical skill, and attentiveness to the person.

Many thanks,
