Our Story

Lake Howell Health Center is a private medical practice established in April 2010. We aim to treat and prevent illnesses and injuries in people of all ages.

The medical staff at Lake Howell Health Center specializes in family practice, weight loss, and addiction treatment services. They use a whole-body approach when treating patients, examining overall health and medical history to determine the best treatment method.

Addiction treatment is perhaps our best-known service. SoberDoc is Lake Howell Health Center’s in-house addiction treatment program. Dr. Hoffman developed SoberDoc to provide specifically designed treatment plans for each patient. This program has successfully treated hundreds for addictions to alcohol, nicotine, and illicit drugs.

Testimonials

I hate that I’m writing this review, but it needs to be done. I was a patient here for about 4-5 years. I’d seen Nicole Palm for all my needs. Last Monday I requested an appointment with her due to dizziness and headaches I’ve been having. The receptionist told me they could get me in the following Monday and I’d need to send a new picture of my insurance card to their email. I did just that.

I then called in January with the new information to have on file. Come to find out, after my first appointment in February - my claim was denied and they are out of network. I selected my plan based on their advice and now I...
