Jason K. Hofer, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon serving patients in Ventura, specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery. A Ventura native, Dr. Hofer graduated cum laude from UC San Diego with a degree in chemistry and earned his medical degree with honors from USC. He completed his orthopedic residency at UC Irvine and a fellowship in lower extremity reconstruction at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla.
Dr. Hofer specializes in innovative hip and knee replacement techniques, including anterior hip replacement, and is recognized as one of the most experienced surgeons in Ventura County. Outside of work, he enjoys surfing, fishing, skiing, and spending time with his children.
With the extreme pressure doctors are under to see, diagnose, treat, and move on in 20 minutes or so to keep up with insurance company demands, it is a rare Doctor that has the skills to not only be a great surgeon, but also hear what the patient is saying and relate while doing so. Dr. Hofer is an 11 out of 10… that is because 10 is just not enough!
As always, the care and service at Ventura Orthopedics is exemplary.
I have had two knee replacements done by Dr. Hofer. He and his PA, Sean, offer care on a higher level. I came in recently to have a diagnostic on my hip and spine. I had X-rays of both and a diagnosis that was complete and Dr. Hofer took time to address all of my questions and concerns. I feel very at home at Ventura Orthopedics and recommend them to anyone needing orthopedic care.
I couldn’t have had better or more personal care! As with most highly skilled and recommended doctors, they have a large patient population. However, they not only give their full attention and time to each patient, but the appointments stay reasonably on time. I am very happy with my new knees, and the freedom my new mobility provides. I am grateful that I have had such a positive experience!
Dr. Hofer‘s entire team were spectacular. So professional, they carried out their duties to my comfort, safety, and precision. Dr. Hofer, is a master and installing knee replacements. Great bedside manner, great follow up, and care for his patients.. If I had three knees, I’d go back again. Also, kudos to Sean Husted, his assistant! Thank you ALL!!
Dr. Hofer is an amazing doctor both in and out of the operating room. His skill and knowledge provide his patients with the best option forward for their injuries and/or improved mobility. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Hofer performed a bilateral total hip replacement with knowledge and experience that produced the outcome of movement and life!!He explained the procedure and expectations before surgery. With each follow up visit he has been encouraging and helpful in recovery. Dr. Hofer brings great skill and knowledge to the table – surgery table. I am thankful to have him as my orthopedic doctor.
I have been 100% satisfied with every single visit I’ve had at Ventura Orthopedics with Dr. Jason Hofer and equally with his PA over the last several years during which I’ve had both hips replaced. The medical care is excellent and delivered in a personal and compassionate way. I cannot recommend this team highly enough!
Dr. Hofer, his team, and the staff at Ventura Orthopedics provided personalized and efficient care throughout my knee replacement surgery and follow-up care over the past year. If/when I need the other knee or a hip replaced, Dr. Hofer will be my first choice.
