Dr Jaafar did an excellent job on my shoulder replacement surgery. I really like the force app it helps you know what you should be doing with your rehab. When you send in a message they answer you. I wish I would have had him do my knee. I highly recommend Dr. Jaafar.

I saw Dr. Jaafar on Dec. 26th, 2019 because of a fall that hurt my knee and ankle. He did x-rays and told me they were both sprained and to go ahead and walk on it. It turned out after 4 months of walking with pain and after an MRI both my knee and ankle were fractured. He was dismissive and acted like he was mad that I wasted his time. I have since seen two other doctors and a NP at the Bone and Join Center and they were all excellent.

The muscle and tendons had to be reattached to my shoulder after a fall. He explained the procedure and was very up front about recovery time and limitations (possible 80% not 100) I might experience. Excellent bedside manner and skill. Physical Therapist was amazed at my recovery and his skill also. I would and have recommended him to others.

Very good bedside manor. He was very gentle and caring during examining my broken ankle. He made sure I understood what he was going to do. My mother has been a patient of his too. I am very satisfied with the care I having. I have referred a couple people to him and will continue to. I wouldn't see anyone else.
