| A native
of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, Dr. Hoffman returned to the Twin
Cities after practicing in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Hoffman
is trained in all aspects of Plastic Surgery. His final two
years of Plastic Surgery training were in Los Angeles where
he acquired extensive experience with a wide range of cosmetic
procedures. He also received advanced training in the treatment
of children with birth defects. His current practice concentrates
primarily on Cosmetic Surgery.
AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION
His areas of specialization include breast
surgery (enlargement, reduction, and breast lift), body sculpting
through liposuction and tummy tuck, surgery of the aging face,
neck, and eyelids, and surgery of the nose. He also enjoys
trips to South and Central America where he participates in
the care of children in need.
EDUCATION
I feel fortunate to have an education that includes Harvard
University, Vanderbilt University, University of Wisconsin,
University of Minnesota and the University of Southern California.
Perhaps the “best” thing to happen to my career
are the two years spent in Los Angeles gaining advanced training
in cosmetic plastic surgery.
I believe that a good surgeon never stops learning. Today’s
plastic surgeon has a duty to stay up to date with techniques
which improve patient results and speed recovery. Therefore,
in addition to being a perpetual student of the art and science
of plastic surgery, I am proud to have been a teacher at such
prestigious institutions as the University of Minnesota, Loma
Linda University, the Children’s Hospitals of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles
and the University of Southern California.
I am a firm believer in educating the public about what constitutes
excellence in terms of safety and results in plastic surgery.
CREDENTIALS
Dr. Hoffman has extensive professional expertise
and is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
– the only board recognized by the American Board of
Medical Specialists to certify plastic surgeons.
