One visit and I was sold. Timely, friendly, easy to communicate with office. Dr. Jaffee went to work as he entered his office. Very professional.

I saw Ms. Williams for a funny spot on my face. She is very good and I would send anyone I know to her. I didn't see Dr. Jaffe but I know she talked with him about me because they referred me to Dr. Dawn in their office for surgery. He removed all the cancer and now you can barely see where it was. I think Ms. Williams and the rest deserve a lot of credit.

Given the nature of my occupation I have had to move several times and have seen my share of Dermatologist, some much better than others. Dr. Jaffe and his PA are by far the best! I have found that both really listen to what I had to say about my situation and they were exceptional about explaining my condition and treatment. By the way, regarding a previous persons comments, at one of my visits the dog was not there and all the patients I was sitting with were very disappointed. There is visible notification that if anyone has allergies or for other reasons does not want the dog to be there, she will be removed.

I was suffering from acne and was recommended to Dr. Jaffe-I was surprised when after I waited 45 minutes I did not even see Dr. Jaffe but a PA-I also was frustrated at the presence of a dog in the office-I have severe dog allergies and was miserable because of it-His front desk staff was rude and did not even put the dog away when I asked. I will never go here again.

Dr. jaffe was the only one who correctly diagnosed and treated me effectively and accurately after 3 other doctors in 2 years. He was extremely professional and compassionate. I highly recommend him or any one else in the practice.
