Dr. Yaffee was very pleasant and assuring regarding my upcoming surgery. He reviewed in detail my medical history and instructions as to medications that I could take on the day of the surgery. I felt very comfortable in talking with the doctor and will request him as my PCP for 2024.

Dr. Yaffee was hands down the best doctor I have seen in a long time. He was knowledgeable, worked fast, listened to my concerns and made me feel extremely comfortable. He was able to see me 15 minutes early and I am so glad I was able to meet him today. Excellent experience.
