My son was misdiagnosed by this man. He spent 6 months on medicine that didn't help, even after my pleading to try something else. I finally was able to get a referral to UW Children's... AMAZING team there.

He spent well over 45 minutes going through my daughters chronic constipation and how we were going to fix this. He had so much helpful information and knew exactly what we have been living through. Spent a great amount of time describing what she has and wh. He went through detailed steps to take in the right direction and what it will take to get through this. He is very good and I believe he will cure what my daughter has. Great bedside manner, timely and took the time to answer our questions.

He was great! I don't know why he has low reviews. I was diagnosed with celiac and crohns disease as a young child and have continued to be his patient for years. He is always very helpful and nice to me.

He made me feel like I was a bad mother and that I was incompetent. I found him to be arrogant and will not be making a follow up appointment with him. I wished I hadn't even gone to see him, it was a waste of time. The only positive things were that I didn't have much waiting time and the nurse was nice.

Dr. Michael Yaffe of Madison, WI diagnosed and treated my daughter when other doctors had been telling us this was just a virus. He spent well over 45 minutes with us explaining ulcerative colitis which is what she was diagnosed with. He is by far the best doctor any of my children have seen.
