Dr. Yaffee is a breath of fresh air! He is humble, kind, calm, compassionate, sweet natured, doesn’t talk down to his patients, speaks in layman’s terms so the patient fully understands and agrees with treatment options, and he collaborates with the patient and family caregiver on continued plan of care. Dr. Yaffee also looks at the senior patient and speaks directly to them. He doesn’t treat the elderly patient as inconsequential or geriatric. He is extremely thorough in his exam, especially after the patient suffered a fall at home. He offered additional home care options for a slanted pillow to assist with sitting upright, if needed. He also offered suggestions based on his hospital experience, which we appreciated. He is quite humorous and has a great, self deprecating sense of humor. He is an awesome doctor. We understand why he is so in demand and wildly popular.

I went for my back pain and some concerns about thyroid and hematology test results and Dr. Yaffee referred me to a back specialist and ordered blood work and kindly answered my questions and explained throughly about the issues i am dealing with. Overall I am very happy with my visit.
