Mary Ellen Hoffman, MD

Hi! I'm Mary Ellen. I live in Oneonta with my simply amazing husband, 'J,' and my feisty, funny and inspiring children Jamie and Beckett. I grew up in Alfred, NY, so I'm a small town girl.

I went to Ithaca College where I studied Biochemistry and Exercise Science. I was also a softball player (center fielder) for the Bombers. After graduating from Ithaca in 1997, I went to SUNY Upstate Medical University where I earned my medical degree.

It was also in Syracuse where I met the love of my life, 'J,' while playing Ultimate Frisbee. While at Syracuse, I participated in the Rural Medical Education (RMED) program where I had the honor of living and working in Oneonta for 9 months while working at Oneonta Family Practice.

I did my residency at Somerset Family Practice Residency at Somerset Medical Center in Somerville, NJ and graduated in 2004. After residency, I worked at Towne Centre Family Practice in Hillsborough, NJ for seven years before returning to Upstate NY.

I worked at Oneonta Family Practice from 2010-2015 and have enjoyed my new adventure with Hoffman Family Medicine since 2016!

Since 2016, I've been learning more about Functional Medicine. The goal of this type of medicine is to understand underlying/root causes of dysfunction/disease.
