About the Author

Dr. Hoffman spent his formative years in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania before attending Franklin and Marshall College for his undergraduate degree. He went on to earn his MD at the University of Pennsylvania, choosing to specialize in psychiatry. After a term of service as a psychiatrist in the United States Air Force, he settled in the greater Boston area and built his private practice there for most of his career. Later in life he and his wife relocated to Florida where he continues to practice part time.
