Mar-2024
Dr Yaffe has been my PCP for 27 years. I have been fortunate enough to be in good health until this past summer. Up until then most of the visits were limited to my yearly physicals and maybe a blood test or two each year. During the summer of '23, I was experiencing symptoms that would not go away and Dr Yaffe worked with me for over 3 months until all subsided. He set me up with specialists who were stumped but throughout all this, Dr Yaffe was always very reassuring and was available (text or in office) whenever I needed him. I am so grateful for how he handled all this with me. My friends were all in awe of the attention I received those 3+ months from Dr Yaffe as none of them felt their PCP's would have been that attentive.
