About Me

care philosophy

It is very gratifying to treat children and adults with complex ear, nose and throat problems. I enjoy learning from each new experience, carefully striving to improve the quality of life of each patient. Most diagnosis can be made by taking the time to carefully listen to each patient. Jeffrey A. Paffrath, M.D.
