I consider myself fortunate to have Dr Jaffer as a part of my care team. He is truly a professional and one of the best in his field of cardiology and CTO intervention. Going beyond his knowledge and ability, he takes time to clearly help patients understand their diagnosis and care plan. The experience so far has been reassuring and encouraging.
