Is the Doctor a specialist? Orthodontists receive an additional 2-3 years of specialized education, beyond dental school, to learn the proper way to diagnose and treatment plan malocclusions (bad bite) to straighten and align teeth. Orthodontists practice Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics exclusively.
Calabasas Orthodontics strives to provide you with affordable, high-quality orthodontic treatment that fits your budget! Based on an initial examination, Dr. Stuart Hoffman will provide you with various treatment options, estimates of cost and approximate length of treatment. When you have agreed to proceed with treatment and all x-rays and study models have been taken, Dr. Hoffman will discuss the finalized diagnosis and treatment plan which will include a breakdown of all applicable fees and spend the time necessary to answer all your questions.

Dr. Hoffman was my orthodontist when I was a young teen over ten years ago. I remember him being very nice and professional. I misplaced a retainer a little while back and had to get a replacement recently. Because the office was following Covid-related safety procedures, I felt comfortable coming in. Everyone was exactly as I remembered; Jan at the front was still very sweet and remembered me after many years, and Dr. Hoffman was also still very kind, quick and efficient.
I believe the assistant was also the same and she was also very nice. The process was very quick and easy, Dr. Hoffman definitely knows what he's doing. After the first 2 nights of wearing my retainer again, my bottom teeth that had slightly moved are already coming back into place. Happy I can come back to him after so many years and will go to him for any other orthodontia needs if any, as I trust his practice.

All 3 of our kids used the services of Dr. Hoffman of Calabasas Orthodontics. It was truly a great experience with Dr. Hoffman and his staff. He was honest about what needed to be done, his prices were very fair and never did we feel rushed to have their braces taken off too early. Dr. Hoffman even explained that our kids needed to use their retainers every night after their braces were taken to help keep their teeth aligned properly for years to come. They now all have beautiful smiles. We recommend Dr. Hoffman to teens and even adults who needs braces.

This is long over. Our son had braces from Dr. Hoffman and it was a GREAT experience. We were told the cost and that is exactly what we paid. We were told an approximate time frame and our sons teeth were straightened within days of that time frame. Dr. Hoffman runs a tight ship therefore an appointment would take mere minutes. There were occasions that I dropped my son near the door and he would be walking out by the time I had parked and was on my way inside.
The receptionist was always friendly, helpful, had answers to questions and was very accommodating when scheduling appointments. My husband, son and I highly recommend Dr. Hoffman

Dr. Hoffman is an exceptional orthodontist who had taken care of my son, Brian's teeth since he was in Elementary School at Lupin Hill. Dr. Hoffman was always kind and gentle and put you at ease from the beginning. Jan always welcomed us by name and made us feel at home. Now my son is 23 and has a beautiful, perfect smile due to Dr. Hoffman's excellent work. Brian wore his retainer every night as Dr. Hoffman requested, and Dr. Hoffman showed him how to take care of it so it would last like Brian's beautiful smile. Brian just lost his retainer, along with most all of his belongings due to the fire in Decker Canyon.
Thank God he left to protect his Mom, Grandma on Hospice, and pets, it saved his life! Dr. Hoffman personally returned my phone message before his day began and was right there to help my son with his warm voice over the phone assuring me not to worry. Brian and I are so touched by the kindness of Dr. Hoffman and his staff. They took care of the retainer in such a quick time frame, and Dr. Hoffman truly blessed us with his warmth and generosity.
They are a wonderful team with Dr. Hoffman being an outstanding Orthodontist with a kind heart. He and his staff will welcome you and provide the highest level of care with such warmth and professionalism. They have plenty of parking and are freeway close! We highly recommend Dr. Hoffman and his staff without reservation.

His credentials are outstanding. His ethics are what set him apart from other orthodontists. He has treated my daughter for the last 2 years at cost because SHE failed to wear her retainer. He did so because he wanted to make sure her teeth were perfect. He is a good person and a great orthodontist. If only more people and professionals were like Dr. Hoffman. :-

Hoffman was my childhood ortho 12 years ago. I'm 26 now. Hoffman did a disastrous job and he is extremely creepy and lazy. He is not a very bright guy at all, I wouldn't let my kids within 100 feet of him Perfect blend of incompetence, maliciousness, low iq, and laziness is what you get with Hoffman, always remember that.

I went to Dr. Hoffman as a child and my teeth are now perfect. What more can you ask for from an Orthodontist? He is an honest man with a knack for care and detail. His soothing hum made the tightening of my braces more palatable. I recently looked him up and noticed he didn't have many reviews, so I thought I would write one. Go here, take your kids here and fix your face.

I have 5 children, ages 28, 26, 24, 19,16, and all of them have gone through Dr. Hoffman. He has a very nice and friendly looking office. It's always cheerfully decorated according to the season or holiday, Valentine, Christmas, summer, etc. His staff is great, and Jan always gives me a reminder call, the day before our appointment. This has saved the day many times.
Each child is different, and he caters to their needs accordingly. For example, my daughter started on her braces later than my other kids and had them on longer, because she had an under bite issue. I took her to see him several times before she actually started. He examined her and kept saying we had to wait until her jaw area finished growing. I've heard of a lot of doctors that will just start them way too early, and tell them they have to do it twice because of the child's condition.
I believe this is probably not needed, but rather done for the extra big bucks they can charge you. My daughter's teeth came out beautifully, as did all of my other children. I'm down to my youngest child, and he just recently got his braces off, and is in the retainer phase of the process. I'm going to miss going to see Dr. Hoffman and his team on a monthly basis.
If you want a doctor that will give you warm individual attention according to your child's needs, and have your child's teeth ending up beautifully, then you have to go see Dr. Hoffman. I would definitely recommend him, and so would my five kids. Thank you Dr, Hoffman and staff! :-D

I am a dentist in Encino, and I refer patients to dr. hoffman. He has treated my patients with excellence over the last 15 years, and he is just a nice person. When you have orthodontics done, you need someone who is not only highly skilled but a great person and have a great staff, You will find this with dr hoffman. alan howard, d.m.d.

I took my nephew to Dr. Hoffman 4 years ago. He had his braces removed a few months ago and now sees Dr. Hoffman once a month or so. Dr. Hoffman is great. He has a terrific dispositiona and deals well with his patients and their parents/guardians. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone.
