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 here in Oneonta for 9 months while working at Oneonta Family Practice under Dr. Benjamin Friedell's mentorship. While doing this program I was able to get a very good sense of this community along with other specialists in the area. This would factor in greatly in our decision to move back here.
"J" ended up getting a job in Manhattan, so we headed down near the city. I'm not a city girl, so I did my residency at Somerset Family Practice Residency at Somerset Medical Center in Somerville, NJ. I graduated in 2004. After residency, I worked at Towne Centre Family Practice in Hillsborough, NJ for seven years. It was a very hard decision to leave such wonderful people there, but we were ready to come back up to Upstate NY...to Oneonta.
I have worked at Oneonta Family Practice since 2010 and have enjoyed my new adventure with Hoffman Family Medicine since 2016!!
That's me in a nutshell. (No! This is me in a nutshell!)

Hi! I’m Lia! I am a “local girl” - I grew up in Davenport and went to Charlotte Valley (class of 2002). I married my high school sweetheart, Adam. Together we have two awesome, crazy and amazing children; Mackenzie and Henry.
After high school I went to college at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. Then we moved to Syracuse for medical school at SUNY Upstate. After Syracuse we went to Binghamton, where I did my residency in Family Medicine at UHS. I’ve always known that I wanted to come back to the Oneonta area to practice medicine and I am very excited to have this opportunity to join Hoffman Family Medicine! When I’m not busy with work my favorite thing to do is to spend time with my family. I also like being outside; working in the garden, hiking or just hanging out with the kiddos. |
