Met Dr. Yaffee for a second opinion regarding aortic valve condition. He was fully informed of my condition , including having read all notes from previous cardiac team and recent echo cardio gram. My visit with him was 80 minutes and he was next level in explaining my condition, options for valve replacement and next steps. I would describe him as extremely patient, thorough, competent and experienced through our whole review and discussion. Am glad I went to him and feel very comfortable that he is on my case!
