I've been a patient for Dr Gaffney for 10 years and she is fantastic. She is never rushed and spends as much time as needed to take care of your needs. She will stand behind you to make sure your issues are taken care of by specialists. She jumped through hoops to make sure I got approved for my insurance so I could have bariatric surgery. She keeps up to the minute on all the latest treatments and medication research. Couldn't ask for a better doctor.

Dr. Gaffney has been my children's pediatrician since they were babies. She is excellent! She listens to concerns, takes the time explain medical issues thoroughly, and is very caring and attentive to the kids. I trust her completely with my children's care and view her as a partner in terms if making decisions about their medical care.

Dr. Gaffney is a very caring person and is great to work with as a medical professional. Her staff is attentive and I am always able to get it to see her or another staff member if urgent. My only complaint is waiting to get lab work done is sometimes a long wait.
