As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Inspired by his grandfather and uncle to enter the field, Dr. Hoffler earned a Bachelor of Arts in pre-medicine from Hampton University in 1967. Subsequently, he expanded his professional knowledge, completing his MD at Meharry Medical College. During the early stages of his career, he gained valuable expertise in private practice, where he oversaw and supervised the healthcare of over 2,000 patients. A seasoned internal medicine physician, Dr. Hoffler retired from his role as a physician at the local VA Medical Center in 2011.
For the last 13 years, Dr. Hoffler has been enjoying his well-deserved retirement with his two children and two grandchildren. In light of his outstanding work, he was honored with Marquis Who's Who in America and received the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.

Other standout moments in Dr. Hoffler's career include retiring from the VA because he was healthy enough to do so.
Though hard work and dedication have brought him far in his career, Dr. Hoffler credits his success to his determination to overcome financial, discrimination, and racial barriers.
