I got a more thorough explanation and he seemed to look at my nose with more detail and consideration than other doctors. I wish I had more time with him and that we could have gone slower, asked more questions about my unique experience. But as far as doctors go, this was my best experience yet.

From my first visit, Dr.Jafri was nothing short of amazing and diagnosed what I have been going through almost immediately. He always took the time to listen to what I had to say and found ways to tie it back into how we move forward with the solution. I am so appreciative of him and his work— from consultation to surgery he was awesome all the way though and it feels good knowing that I had the right person for the job. I can breathe again!!

I came to Dr. Jafri with multiple health issues, some of which were missed by other doctors I have seen. He quietly listened to me, then he efficiently and quickly identified all the causes of my suffering. Whereas other doctors could not figure out the true cause of my symptims, Dr. Jafri was able to put together all the pieces of the puzzle and took the time to explain it all to me fully. His diagnostic skills are nothing short of anazing. He also came up with a holistic treatment plan that addresses all my issues. He has earned my trust. In fact I would trust Dr. Jafri with my life. I have been to many specialists and in my opinion Dr. Jafri is the best of the best at what he does.

I searched for years to find a good ENT, as they all didn’t listen or would rush me through my visits. Dr. Jafri listened from day 1, and always took the time to ensure I didn’t have any additional questions or concerns. He’s also a very clear communicator and has great bedside manner. He clearly loves what he does and it shows with the knowledge that he brings and shares. Following my surgery, he checked up on me multiple times a day and even made a special visit to the office on the weekend to ensure I was recovering correctly. Dr. Jafri is the best!

Comment - “ Wonderful doctor with kind, caring, manner who cautiously recommended sinus surgery, which he he performed with total success. ”
Expertly guided me through managing sinus problems for several years, first trying non-surgical treatments and finally recommending and performing surgery. Always explained diagnoses and options at every step clearly, making sure to answer all questions. Surgery was absolutely the right call - my symptoms are 100% resolved and quality of life immensely improved. He is gentle, empathic, kind, clear and cautious with proceeding to surgery - everything one wants in a doctor.
