About the Hoffman Centre for Integrative and Functional Medicine

The Hoffman Centre for Integrative and Functional Medicine is a private medical centre that specializes in assessing and treating complex and treatment-resistant health concerns that have not been adequately resolved through previous attempts at resolution.

Most patients present with a known diagnosis or multiple symptoms that appear unrelated, have done many different tests, and have seen many different practitioners including but not limited to traditional medical specialists, naturopaths, chiropractors and other functional medicine doctors.

Dr. Hoffman and his team have developed a strong reputation for being able to effectively sort through all the different workups to date, identify additional testing that is required to reach a differential diagnosis, and assist patients with formulating a well delineated roadmap to restore health.
