Dr. Mubina Gaffar, MD

Dr Gaffar is well informed on my particular issues and her empathy and understanding is always evident and her recommendations helpful

Dr. Gaffar is very knowledgeable and caring. I'm very grateful for her quick action in getting me the care I urgently needed by contacting other specialists and mobilizing the entire team for me to be seen as soon as possible.

For most of the past year (2023), Dr. Gaffar has been not only our pulmonologist, but more importantly, a real advocate for my wife's treatment for Myasthenia Gravis. Time and again, Dr. Gaffar insisted on a more extensive plan and more specialized care. She was the most visible among a team of 4 or 5 doctors, and she could always be depended on to give us an accurate update on the wife's condition. No wonder that I took to calling her 'our angel!!'

Dr. Gaffar is an excellent pulmonologist! She was able to make a diagnosis quickly when several other doctors could not. I was very sick when I found her and I am much healthier and stronger today thanks to Dr. Gaffar!

Dr. Gaffar is a top notch pulmonologist! My husband has been treated by her for a number of years and she is first an excellent diagnostician and then follows thru with appropriate state of the art treatment. She never rushes us and always answers questions thoroughly. We are lucky we found her and I highly recommend her!

The Front office personnel are very incompetent. Never get back to you if you leave a message! They kept changing your appointment which you cannot keep track of it. There is NO communication between The Doctor & patient!

Dr Gaffar is a knowledgeable, skilled and thorough professional. She has a clear approach of testing, diagnosis and develops comprehensive treatment plans. The office staff is also very kind, responsive and professional.

Dr. Gaffar is an absolutely wonderful pulmonologist. She is caring, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, thorough and a fabulous woman. She has been treating me for some years now, and I couldn't be happier to be her patient. I highly recommend her. In addition, she has a great staff. They are very kind and extremely efficient. One of the best office staffs, ever. They too get 5 stars

2021, I arrived to my appointment having had shortness of breath for a few months. Naturally, I was eager to find a remedy, to which she replied, “I do not have a magic wand”. This response, and others, during my appointment displayed a profound lack of empathy, compassion, and professionalism. You can find plenty of other competent pulmonologists in the area for treatment who do have her personality flaws.

She is the absolute best! Literally saved my life! Took me from ICU to back to my busy and blessed life. She is so smart, decisive, connected and gets her patients exactly what they need to beat recover. Very compassionate.

Dr. Gaffar has been treating me since we met at Hoag Hospital where I had been admitted in December 2017 with pneumonia. For years I have had COPD and emphysema, and I have had half my right lung removed.... in other words a difficult patient. Dr. Gaffar is VERY knowledgeable, a wonderful physician who is gently persuasive in steering one to make good decisions. I resisted pulmonary rehabilitation she suggested, but over the course of 2-3 appointments with her decided to do what she was suggesting. Best thing I've ever done. For me it's a shame she isn't also my family physician and is "only" treating my lungs.....she is just terrific. I couldn't recommend her more to anyone with any pulmonary issue.

Dr. Gaffar is not only a knowledgeable and competent physician, she's readily available to her patients. She is understanding and compassionate regarding the concerns faced with pulmonary issues. Also, her office staff is very helpful and accommodating.

My husband and I are very satisfied Patients of Dr. Gaffar. She very pleasantly discuses any questions we have and educates us on what she feels we need help with. We are very satisfied with Dr. Gaffar and the wonderful staff she has. Always pleasant and know how to help us with what we need. If they don't have the answer they will find it for us. Thank you and your staff for being so accommodating. Sam and Carol Tabone!

Dr Gaffar refused to provide me with my diagnosis over the phone while I was out of town for work for two weeks. She was evasive and rude to my wife. I would never refer this doctor to anyone I care about. I felt she was abusing her power as a doctor by withholding my medical information from me claiming that it is office policy to only give information in person forcing another office visit. Her lack of empathy for my condition is shocking to me and my family.

Dr Gaffar is my 2nd Pulmonary Dr as my first one I wasn’t happy with. I am so glad I changed! She is caring, takes her time, no nonsense Dr. Her office staff are very friendly, efficient and also very caring as us asthmatics need at times. I would refer Dr Gaffar (as I already have) to family and friends!

I appreciate Dr. Mubina Gaffar's professionalism as a pulmonologist. She is very caring, is a good listener, and she helped me to breath better, which is a big health concern to me. I highly recommend her!

While experiencing a bout of pneumonia, I found Dr. Gaffar knowledgeable, quick to find the best tools for diagnosis and very understanding of my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Gaffar.

I feel very lucky to have seen Dr. Gaffar. While she was extremely knowledgeable, she also took an inordinate amount of time with me and made sure all of my questions were answered. And, on a separate note, she also referred me to a very competent pediatric pulmonologist for my daughter when she developed asthma, and for that I am grateful.

She is very caring and did everything possible to get an oxygen machine for me while I was recovering from a Pulmonary Embolism
