Dr. Hoffman told his parents that he planned to be a doctor when he was just 5 years old. He grew up in Ohio and Florida and graduated from Rollins College in 1977. He received his Honors Doctor of Optometry degree Summa Cum Laude in 1981 from the University of Houston College of Optometry. He joined Dr. Abshire’s practice later that Fall and quickly became involved in the community. Dr. Hoffman was named “Citizen of the Year” by the Orange Park Rotary Club in 2008. He was awarded his Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry in 1985. He excels in pediatrics and advanced contact lenses. Dr Hoffman is very proud of his 3 outstanding sons who were raised in Orange Park, Michael, Rob and optometric physician Dr. John Hoffman. He lives in Orange Park with his wife, Karen.
