Dr Yafeh is a great doctor and even better diagnostician. When my dad started having strange neurological symptoms I asked a nurse I know who she’d recommend. She told me Dr Yafeh cares about her patients and responds to their calls and questions, even after hours. It only took a few weeks to get an appointment (rare) and when we saw her, she narrowed it down to 3 conditions. She ordered extensive tests to confirm her suspicions, and referred us to a specialist for the rare disorder my dad ended up having. She is always helpful about getting tests and referrals, and always kind. Highly recommend her and her office.

Patient was timely advised of scope of visit/ exam, results thereof, and recommendations for therapy. Patient diligently quired for pending questions and concerns. Resulting therapy was effective.

Dr. Yaffa’s office was able to get me an appointment in a very reasonable timeframe. Dr Yaffa listened to all of my health issues, made me comfortable, and was easy to talk with. She ordered the appropriate imaging for me which was key for my health situation. What was most impressive was that when I had a question, she called me directly with her answer. She definitely cares for the wellbeing of her patients.

I was referred to Dr. Yafeh by my family physician, who is known for recommending the top doctors in their field. I found Dr. Yafeh to be a kind and caring doctor. She is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. She was very careful to review my medical record and ordered appropriate tests before prescribing medication. I feel like I'm in good hands with Dr. Yafeh and would highly recommend her. It was easy to make an appointment and the office staff is very friendly.

It gives me great joy to share with you the positive experience that I have had with Dr. Banafsheh Yafeh over the past seven years. She is an outstanding, talented and experienced Vascular Neurologist who truly cares about her patients. I am grateful to God that Dr. Yafeh came to my help seven years ago, when I had a stroke. At that time, I was hospitalized at Long Beach Memorial Hospital for a knee replacement. During a physical therapy session, I developed stroke symptoms. It happened that Dr Yafeh was on duty. With her superb knowledge and skill, she went above and beyond to ensure that I receive the best care possible. She collaborated with the Interventional Neuroradiology team so that a clot was removed from an artery in my brain. Subsequently, she continued to follow-up on my care throughout my stay at the rehabilitation facility and then on the outpatient basis. Throughout the past seven years, she has been in close communication with my Internal Medicine doctor to coordinate a… comprehensive care for me. Her dedication and unwavering commitment have made my recovery possible. I pray for her at my church’s mass. May God protect her and may she bring healing to those in need.
