Dr. Hoover is very thorough, provides detailed explanations, is friendly, and is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to diagnose an issue that four other doctors could not. I have the utmost confidence in him and highly recommend him.

Dr Hoover is the most thorough physician I have ever had. He is determined to find what is causing my chronic cough even though we have ruled out allergies as the cause. He is so dedicated, rather than cancelling my visit due to his own illness, he arranged to meet with me through a telehealth visit. He is a credit to his profession!

Always love going to him. Very thorough

(5.0 out of 5)

Dr. Hoover is a very thorough and knowledgeable doctor. He takes time to cover all relevant medical issues that I may have providing me time to ask questions. I never feel that I was "rushed" through my appointment which some doctors do!

(4.5 out of 5)

Again, I trust Dr. Hoover, but his explanations tend to ramble and you get lost in the true explanation.

I will tell everybody about Dr Hoover and his staff!!

(5.0 out of 5)

I had been misdiagnosed for many years by two providers. Dr. Hoover correctly diagnosed my condition and I have improved 100%. He is top shelf!
