Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Genuinely concerned about your health
Dr. Yaffe was an excellent listener and wanted to be sure he targeted the exact area of my pain as well as root cause to find solution. He also recommended alternative treatment options. His primary concern was the long term improvement in my health condition. I would highly recommend him. All staff were very professional.

Been a few years....
Dr Yaffe sits and explain what he sees, on xrays, and treatment options. He's just as pleasant and thorough as the last time I saw him. I guess I will see Sean Grant, PA, the next time. He was just as nice....gave a step by step outline of what he will be doing.

Easy to talk to
This was my first visit with Dr Yaffe. From the get-go, he made me feel very comfortable, was easy to talk to, and explained everything in terms I understood. I knew exactly what our next steps were, and he worked with me instead of just telling me what to do. He answered every question I had, and at no time did I ever feel rushed.

Excellent All Around
Confident, authentic and willing to spend the time having a conversation with you to truly diagnose what’s happening. As a first-time patient on my first visit, I walked away feeling like I was well informed on what my condition could be, understood what options I have to treat it and could reach out for support at any time. What more could you want? A+ all the way around.
