I love Dr Jaffe. He has been my dad's doctor for 3 years, since we met him at the Condell E.R. He just makes you feel cared for. He listens, he cares and he is super courteous. He also talks to his patients over the phone if you have important questions or concern, not like the other doctors who makes their staff do all the calls and follow ups.

Dr. Jaffee is highly regarded by both his patients and other physicians. I was referred by my PMD. My husband was referred by his PMD, who is not the same person as my PMD. He was very caring during my visit and took a great deal of time with me even though my condition is not very serious. He doesn't lecture you, which is wonderful for me, as I went there dreading one, but he was very understanding and helpful. Next time, I think my blood pressure will be far better just because my anxiety level will be about nil.

On more than one occasion, Dr. Jaffe called me following up an appointment or test. He is VERY approachable and responsive to my needs.
