This is the second time I’ve seen Dr. Zaffer. I requested him specifically. He’s extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring, and happily answers questions so I could better understand what was occurring. If I could give him six stars I would. His technician was also extremely nice and very knowledgeable.

I found Dr. Zaffer as a kind thorough man. I did have some anxiety about this EMG, but he explained everything I was going to feel as he went along. He’s very soft-spoken and gentle. The test was actually not bad at all.
