What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr hoard is amazing and so is his nurse. His PA on the other hand was awful to me and very mean making me cry minutes after waking up from surgery. Im not sure how a man like that works with such a wonderful human like Dr. Hoard. I would have canceled all appointments and taking care of myself if it wasn't for Dr.Hoard.
