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.

His assistant who performed the first test was awesome! Great personality, very friendly and compassionate. Dr. Zaffer performed this same test on me about 7 years ago and was still as compassionate as the first time.
