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.

I have been seeing Dr. Jaffe for 18 years.
Dr. Jaffe is very attentive to his patients needs. He has always listened to my concerns. I will continue to recommend him.

Absolutely Amazing!
I was scheduled with a different surgeon when my Physical Therapist mentioned Dr. Jaffe. He actually called him the god of knees lol. I went to see him and I canceled my other surgery appointment and booked with him that day and never looked back. He was so thorough, his team is phenomenal and he really cares. I’m 6 weeks and already feel like a new woman with my new knee! Thank you Dr. Jaffe and team! Plus - first time I’ve been off pain meds in 8 years!!!

Not very good communicator or listener
Had been treating knee with cortisone then tried a thing called 'rooster comb'. Asked him if there might be any kind of reaction or allergy. He said no. It is in three treatments each a week apart. 1st week my calf turned red and swelled up with some pain. At 2nd treatment I asked him what is causing that. He said I don't know and walked out. My calf swelled more and had blisters on it and infection. 3rd visit I asked him again and he said I don't know and walked out Covid came along and they were not seeing any patients. I asked voice on the phone if I could text them a picture. She said we don't do that. I could hardly walk so I turned to my PCP and dermatologist. They gave me antibiotics and special cream. Took months to start healing. I have varicose veins below the knee and discoloration to this day. When I went back in six months for a cortisone shot I told his 'technician' my leg was a little better. She denied they had anything to do with it and walked out I have pictures.

Very caring and a great listener
I had two knee replacements and a tendon repair done by Dr. Jaffe. Talking to Dr. Jaffe about my pain and my concerns is like talking to a dear friend who listens and gives great advice. With the knee surgery, he told me that the road to recovery was going to be a challenge, but the end result would be well worth it. He was absolutely correct. After the success of my first knee surgery, I was actually looking forward to my second surgery. Dr. Jaffe has given me back the mobility I use have and no more knee pain. Thank you Dr. Jaffe you’re the best.

Dr. Jaffe and his staff are very caring and professional, I've had two procedures with Dr. Jaffe, elbow and rotator cuff, and both were successful; I highly recommend Dr. Jaffe. He's competent and understanding (Kayla), thanks to you as well. Dr. Jaffe and his staff are the best.

He fixed three knees and one shoulder
My wife had both knees replaced and one rotator cuff operation. I had one knee replacement. All went well. Dr. Jaffe is a good no-nonsense surgeon. We both liked him. For all four OP’s he sent us home with Continuous Passive Movement (CPM) machines that moved the joints and made a world of difference in the outcome. Many surgeons don’t use CPM’s. I suspect that therapy means money and a CPM helps you recover quicker. Dr. Jaffe is not a touchy-feely guy. But he’s a surgeon who can give you the best possible outcome on your operation. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Doctor is unprofessional, not sympathetic to senior patients. He told a patient it was too early to call the in call doctors number so in pin the patient had to drive herself post op to the ER. Choose wisely when looking for a provider. Patients have a choice.

Dr. Jaffe is knowledge, kind and takes the time to listen to you. He has a great bed side manner and speaks in layman’s terms. I went to Dr. Jaffe when another doctor could not/would not listen to me. I ultimately needed a total knee replacement. Surgery went well. I was having other issues with the same leg and he sent me for an MRI of my lower back. The other issue is back related.

Dr. Matthew Jaffe was my surgeon for two total Knee Replacements in August 2019 & December 2019. Dr. Jaffe took the time to answer my questions during all of my visits making my surgery worry free both times. Dr. Jaffe was also available to answer my adult daughter’s and my husband’s questions if they accompanied me to a pre or post operation visit. Prospective patients will be happy to know they will be in out of office visits in a timely manner.
