About This Provider
Dr. Robert Hoffman, DDS, MS founded Hoffman Orthodontics in Crystal Lake, Illinois in 2006 and has practiced orthodontics since 2002. He completed his undergraduate education at Miami University, earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry, and holds a Master's degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Loma Linda University in Southern California. Dr. Hoffman serves as President of the McHenry County Dental Society and is a charter member of the Northwest Suburban Chicago Seattle Study Club. He completes continuing education at three times the required annual rate. His active involvement in Invisalign's research and development program has given him direct experience testing new products before they reach the market, an access level available to very few orthodontists. Patients consistently describe his care as kind, ethical, and conservative. He builds individual treatment plans around each patient's clinical needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals, with the aim of achieving both a proper bite and an attractive smile. The Hoffman Orthodontics team greets every patient by name and runs appointments on schedule.
