I saw Dr. Yaffe a few years ago and was very pleased with the services I received. Went back today for a different issue and, again, was very pleased. He takes time to understand your condition and explain the issue and possible treatments. Staff members are also very friendly.

Dr Yaffe is both efficient and very pleasant. He explains your condition thoroughly as well as treatment options. If it involves an injection, as mine did, he’s as considerate and gentle as possible. The office staff and assistants are also welcoming and efficient, and there’s very little wait time. Highly recommended.

Dr. Jaffe was professional, had a wonderfully pleasant demeanor, and was fantastic at using all tools to his avail to diagnose my wrist condition. He was through and down-to-Earth in explaining the findings-not rushed or pompous as some doctors can be-as well as treatment options. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family.

I broke my arm and wrist in a roller skating incident a day before my birthday. I didn't choose Dr. Yaffe, the emergency room at the hospital did and I can't thank them enough. Surgery on my birthday was mostly a blurr. What I DO remember is how reassuring Dr, Yaffe was before and after surgery. These were my first fractures in my 66 years. Dr. Yaffe's bedside manner is top drawer which I consider second in importance. First you ask?? His surgical ability, of course! I had broken my arm close to the elbow and Dr. Yaffe had to install a cage in my elbow area to put this Humpty Dumpty's arm back together. Dr. Yaffe's expertise gave me the ability, along with lots of physical therapy, to recover completely and regain full use of my right arm. If you require surgery and are looking for a doctor that you can feel comfortable with, Dr Yaffe is your man. Want the surgery done right the first time? Dr. Yaffe is your man. You won't be disappointed.

I would highly recommend Dr. Yaffe and his team! I am an active 30 year old who has luckily never had any serious injuries or surgery. I broke my thumb on my dominate hand and that’s how I met Dr. Yaffe. I was really nervous about surgery, but Dr Yaffe took the time to explain in detail why I needed surgery and everything I should expect. I appreciate Dr Yaffe’s personal approach and I am happy to say that his service was the best part of one of my worst days. I am now fully healed and very thankful I had such a great doctor to help me out.

Dr. Yaffe is easy to talk to, a good listener, and takes a conservative approach. The receptionists are generally not great, and one in particular gave me a really hard time during check-in. She could use some training in customer service. That wouldn't deter me from seeing Dr. Yaffe again, though.

Dr. Yaffe was very down to earth and easy to talk too. This is my fifth trigger for and no what to expect after receiving a cortisone shot.

- Oct 25, 2018

Dr. Jaffe’s expert care in office and in surgery has given me a fully functional right wrist and tendon. His anatomical explanations at visits assist with education but are not confusing. He educates and is extremely detailed. His bedside manner is compassionate, caring, and evaluative. He is conservative to protect the patient but not limiting. He is beyond what a doctor and surgeon should be.

My complaint of many Doctors is what I call the "rush Job". Get in - get out, no personal touch, no listening to your concerns. Saw Dr. Yaffee yesterday for a hand issue and he was NONE of the above. Listened, explained my problem understandably, provided treatment in a very professional manner and had an excellent "bedside" manner. Great job!

Being a 17 yr veteran in the dog grooming industry, I came face to face with one of my worst fears. The overuse of my right hand due to the continual use of scissoring and clipping dogs down finally took its tole. I thought my career was over. Dr. Yaffe went in and not only fixed the problem, but reversed the damage that was done. He has added at least 20 yrs back to my hand. And for that I will always be eternally grateful. This place and the people are truly a blessing, I got my life back.
