Dr. Yaffe was so wonderful and patient with my daughter and her broken wrist. He explained everything in ways easy for us to understand. He also didn’t rush us and answered all our questions. Highly recommend him!

Dr Yaffe is a great doctor! What I like most about him is that he listens to you and provides a solution to the issue. A lot of doctors don’t do that. They have a preconceived notion and that’s what they run with. I have recommended him to other people and they say the same thing.
