Get to know James Hoffman, MD
I am passionate about empowering patients and their families to live their most healthy life. I enjoy taking care of a wide range of patients, from those with complex congenital cardiac issues to patients who may have just an innocent heart murmur. I love building relationships with my patients and their families and recognize this is an important part of improving their overall health. I value patient education and prioritize it as a key factor in shared decision-making for the care of my patients.
