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 the most experienced surgeon 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!
My journey with hip replacement under the care of Ventura Orthopedic has been excellent. Dr. Hofer is a very skilled surgeon, kind, calm. He takes time to answer all my questions. I went back to work 5 weeks after surgery. I am thrilled.
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!!
Brought my mom to Ventura Orthopedics after a bad experience with a different doctor at another orthopedic clinic. Our experience with Dr. Hofer has been great. He’s very patient and helpful with treating my mother. He has been very thorough in explaining everything and creating an effective plan for pain management and treatment that we felt comfortable with. I’m happy to have found an office that is empathetic, professional, and cares about their patients.
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.
EXCELLENT…Dr.Hofer is amazing along with the entire staff. My hip replacement went so smoothly, and my recovery time was so much better than I anticipated. Dr. Hofer provides the best care, surgery and follow up.
Dr. Hofer has been an excellent Doctor for me. From Pre-Op, Surgery and Post-Op, He and his staff have made me feel well cared for. My Total Knee Replacement has been a life changer for keeping.
