Dr. Fatan Jaafar, MD

I found Dr Jaafar by searching for highly rated pediatricians. At first, I was impressed. However, my experiences in the last year have been sub-par. The website is set up so that you have to ask queries through email which they never answer. I also tried to reach them directly through the patient portal just to get some shot records on 2/16/21 for my son's VPK. I never got a response, and I wrote again in April. 2 weeks later, still no response. I finally got someone on the phone as they have weird office hours and never return calls, either, if your child isn't having an emergency. She said "answering email queries has not been our priority" in the past year. Really? Then why is your website set up to ONLY take email questions and tell people that is how to correspond with you? And WHY do you refer every patient to use the patient portal if you are not even reading the messages when they come in from there? This is crazy and very bad behavior for a doctor's practice. Stay away!

I took my 12 year old daughter for the first time to Dr Jaafar for her annually check up. Dr. Jaafar sat with us before staring the check up and we spoke for about 20'-30' about health history. Dr. Jaafar was very carrying, a great listener and great at explaining different health related topics. My daughter is a healthy 12 year old just going through puberty it was helpfull to have Dr Jafaan answering her questions. Excellent doctor I wished we would had her with us since my daughter first year
