Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Success!!
I’ve had two procedures performed by Dr. Jaffe. Not only did he do an excellent job, he was professional, informative and extremely gentle! Both he and his staff made me feel much less apprehensive resulting in an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Dr Jaffe!

Wouldn't recommend!
Telehealth
My doctor had recently left the practice that Dr. Jaffe is a part of, and the office location closed down. I never met with Dr. Jaffe in person it was over the phone to get my monthly medication until I could get scheduled in the Mesa office. It went fine and he sent in my script, and I scheduled for the next month. However, I found out when trying to refill one of the other prescriptions my previous Dr. had prescribed that had refills, had been cancelled and apparently Dr. Jaffe did it. It's not so much that for whatever reason he felt the need to do that, he did it without discussing it with me or letting me know, or figuring out if there was something else, I could take. It's not ok to take someone off medication like that abruptly that they have been taking for some time. It's bad enough for a patient to lose a doctor they have been seeing for years, but then to have to have someone take over who couldn't take the time to communicate. Now I need to find a new doctor.

arrogant and did not listen
He was very arrogant and insinuated that my previous doctors had been prescribing the wrong meds and giving me the wrong kind of epidurals even though I told him it was effective. One visit was enough for me.

Do Not Waste Your Time
Dr Jaffe obviously likes to assume everyone is an opioid abuser without fully reading the patient’s medical files. He wants to be the savior and get the pats on his back. He does not follow up for referrals with insurance issues and then has the office people screen and not answer calls back. He treats you with disrespect and has ruined Virtuous Pain with his poor judgement and slander when you challenge or try to discuss your care treatment if it’s not what he wants. Do not go to him if you are in serious pain because he will judge you instead of trying to at least read your file and history. He lost his last practice for a reason. Very distrustful and disturbing man.

My care under Dr Jaffe has been outstanding over the years. His staff has always been friendly, helpful and personable. My appointments were always within 15 minutes of the scheduled time. What doctor can say that! He listened and took care of what was best for me. I was very disappointed to see him leave Brevard County. Godspeed Dr Jaffe! You are the best!

Dr Jaffe was my pain dr for more than 15 years, but the last years the staff was as bad as it gets. I had a morphine pump and had the pump replaced every 5 yrs, the last time Dr Jaffe put in a new pump it did not work 2 weeks later another did not work 2 weeks later he cut me open again but the rep did not bring the pump, Then 2 weeks later again it does not work and I now have MRSA that the nurse had to come to my house to change MRSA wound for 6 months. I will never go back to Jaffe.

I did a review for Dr. Jaffe in 2018. He and Bev got me through a rough 20 years +, but Doc sold all of his implanted pump patients to another Doctor, he never said anything about it and I got a phone call that my next appointment was with the new doctor! You would think ?? he would have said something after all those years....

I’ve been with Dr and staff for over 2 years, I’m happy with how Dr. Jaffe treats me and his prices are great if you don’t have insurance. He treats me with extended pain medication, I miss immediate pain release pills at times, but overall I’m happy with him. The staff is polite, just read contract, not much room for error DEA is tired of this epidemic.

Zero empathy by doctor or staff. The staff is hostile and rude. We actually watched the staff shame a very elderly woman because she was not moving fast enough. The wrong prescriptions were called into the pharmacy. When trying to explain that they made a mistake, they discharged me as a patient, and did not provide a clear reason why. The doctor does not listen to what I have to say. I have never experienced anything like this. Avoid this doctor at all costs.

care philosophy

I believe that Patients deserve to be treated with respect, and I always remember that my patients are in pain, may be short tempered as a result and try to be tolerant. My goal is to deliver the best care, even if it means a patient may choose to go elsewhere, I do what is right.
