Hoffman & Associates

As a new patient I saw both Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Abello and with that I do not intend to continue going to this practice. Both times I felt uncomfortable and as if I was taking up their time. Dr. Hoffman especially only seems to show a caring approach or interest in those patients who are expecting.

According to Dr Hoffman– if you throw fat people into a Concentration camp and don’t feed them, they get skinny. She’s judgemental and rude and just a horrible person to even make a comment like that. I’ve never had a problem with this office until now. She judged me from the moment she walked in the door.
I’m beyond disgusted with her and will not be back. I only wish I said something to her before storming out.

I was excited to make an initial appoint because she was recommended by another doctor, however I won’t return. I had an annual appointment with the mid-​wife who demanded to do a breast check even though I had just had breast reduction surgery and had gauze over my breasts. She also became angry when I couldn’t move my arms well.

I have been with Dr. Hoffman’s office for a long time. They are very caring and compassionate. My first ObGyn was Dr. Potter in Hoffman’s office. She delivered my son 9 years ago. She has since yhen moved to Florida. The other Doctor in Hoffman’s office that is my favorite is Doctor Nicholson. She delievered my Daughter in an emergency C-​section. She is sweet and great to get along with. I don’t thonk there is any other place I would want to go to.

Hoffman & Associates is comprised of four female OB/​GYNs: Teresa Hoffman, Kate Abello, Erika Nichelson, and Janna Mudd. I have seen all four doctors both during and after my pregnancy.
We had a horrific experience with our first OB, and ultimately decided to switch to the Hoffman group at 33 weeks pregnant. I was a nervous wreck about changing doctors so late into my pregnancy, but this team is FABULOUS. They are extremely knowledgeable, and if you need someone paged during off hours for emergency purposes, they will call back within minutes.
Dr. Nichelson delivered my son and Dr. Abello did his circumcision. My son’s pediatrician saw it during his first doctor’s appointment and said it was one of the most beautiful circs she had ever seen, meaning it was done very well.
Trust me, your lady bits will be well taken care of here!

If I could have Dr. Hoffman adopt me, I would. That is how much I love her. Not only as a doctor, but she’s just a great person.
I have had some very high risk pregnancies and every time I have had a question or concern she goes above and beyond to ease my tension. She worked closely with my other doctors to make sure that I was getting the highest quality of care.
She is easy to talk to and actually listens and remembers things about her patients. One time I was having a big problem with my pregnancy and she took me in on her lunch break and I apologized for interrupting her time off and she flat out said, «Heather, I always have time for you… always.» That just made me feel so good. I sometimes feel like doctors don’t spend time with their patients and realize the situations that they’re going through. Dr. Hoffman is that exception. She is magnificent.
She has three offices that I know about. One near Mercy Medical Center, one in Dundalk, and one in Catonsville.
