Dr. Jaff is wonderful. She is caring, concerned and has skilled hands. During my visit she took the time to thoroughly evaluated my condition and carefully explained her conservative approach. She provided exercises to stretch and strengthen my affected area and demonstrated the proper format. She provided sound direction with a reasonable approach and warning signs. I highly recommend Dr. Stacey Jaff.

February 23, 2012Nitzan R.Verified patient
Stacey Jaff is incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.
I "look" athletic and she kept commenting on my muscularity and comparing that to her typical ballet dancer patients which in itself is not an issue but she kept trying to get me to do an exercise with heavy weight which resulted in a low back injury.
She also spent a long time going on tangets/talking which was also not a problem but then towards the end of the session she hurriedly told me I need to leave because at the time I had Medicaid and she said "you have medicaid and I'm barely getting reimbursed for this visit". I was too shocked to know how to respond.
I should have reported her but I was young at the time and didn't know better.

Unprofessional. I dont feel as though my concerns were truly heard. She did set me up with a wonderful physical therapist, so I am quite thankful for that.

Stacey seems nice but is a bit odd. I think the reason why my visits werent useful because she lacks communication skills and is very frazzled and inattentive. She seemed impatient and didnt fully listen to my concerns and spent most of the hour going on irrelevant tangents. She also kept trying to get me to do an exercise that didn't feel right which later resulted in low back pain. Also I left her office not knowing what to do to help my issue because she was very vague and never clearly stated what I should do about my issue.

She's personable and talks to you like she's known you for years, which is very comforting for me at least to feel like it's not a big deal to be seeing her under any circumstances. She was knew her previous appointment ran late and was very apologetic and aware about it so I didn't mind as much.

She is an amazing doctor and person, took a lot of time to make sure I understood my health issues, and proved step by step what she thought the problems were. She is also funny!
November 7, 2013Jose Carlos C.Verified patient
Dr. Jaff is nothing short of amazing. She has been my doctor for two years now. I have struggled with severe back pain and she has not only made my back stronger but she has also elevated my mental health. Our physical therapy sessions have improved my health and taught me a lot about her as a doctor and a person. Her warm and open demeanor makes it easy for her to help me. I wish more doctors were like her and i hope she continues to practice medicine with the grace and civility that she has shown me.
More than 1 year agoNatalie D.Verified patient
Dr. Jaff was very accommodating and took the time to show me some stretches that have proven helpful. Although I do still have some pain, it is significantly less than when I first went to see her - unfortunately there is no magic pill to completely eliminate my pain, but I feel confident that Dr. Jaff has done what she can to reduce it for now. It’s also worth noting that Dr. Jaff explained one of the procedures she executed in great detail both prior to and during the treatment which helped put me at ease. I will continue to see Dr. Jaff to treat my shoulder / back pain as needed.

She is "wonderful". Refreshing to be seen by a Doctor who actually takes time to talk to you about your medical issues. She's highly professional yet personable.

Dr. Jaff is extremely caring and knowledgeable. She takes time and treats patients as individuals. Hers is the opposite of the typical "one size fits all" approach.

I honestly loved it...She was beyond professional and gave me clear and honest answers to my questions and gave me excellent recommendations for my pain problems. I'm looking forward to following up with Mrs. Jaff soon.
May 16, 2013Nadia L.Verified patient
She was very friendly, candid and helpful. It was my very 1st visit to a physiatrist and I was worried about worse case scenarios but she alleviated my anxiety by explaining and showing me what was wrong as well as offering tips and practices that I could do at home. She was Great.

She was really funny and made me feel quite comfortable. And her diagnosis was quick but thorough. No secretary, so just be aware. It's not a problem at all, it was just surprising.

Stacey is awesome at treating my super painful musculoskeletal condition both compassionately and conservatively. She encourages me to use movement to improve my condition, and simultaneously empathizes with the fact that it's really hard to move when *everything* hurts. She prescribes muscle relaxants and pain killers in a responsible way. As an addiction professional who has concern about painkiller dependance and addiction, I feel trusting that Stacey uses her prescription privileges how they are intended - to treat pain.

Dr. Jaff appears to know her stuff. You can tell she cares about her patients and has solid experience to fall back on. The office is bohemian which was unexpected, but you get used to it after a while.

Dr Jaff is a consummately skilled professional as well as an extraordinary human being. Being in her presence inspires people to feel instantly more self-aware and alive. She takes care to treat the whole person and is an expert diagnostician.

She scared me at first. She is actually a very ' real' person and seems to be very knowledgable with sports related injuries which is why I went to see her. She is in good shape herself and seems to walk the walk of health, which I value highly in a doctor. I would go back to her.

Warm and friendly personality. Very professional! She knows her stuff. I injured my knee while running and she gave me a bunch of advice on it along with plenty of excerises to get me back to full health.

Dr. Jaff has a great personality, great bedside manner and a good sense of humor. She took time to ask all the right questions and to assess my situation in order to come up with a clear diagnosis and a few options for treatment. I would definitely recommend...

outstanding physician that shows she really cares about her patients. spent an extensive amount of time performing a thorough exam, asking questions and listening to my concerns. she also took the time to explain proper strengthening techniques and went out of her way to help me find ways to get insurance coverage for a prescription. i am going to enter the medical field soon and her bedside manner and professionalism were outstanding (im fairly critical of how a doctor treats their patient). highly recommended

She was very helpful and insightful. She helped me figure out what exercises would help relieve and eliminate my knee pain (exacerbation of my IT band syndrome after restarting to run). Great experience. If I need to return, I will happily do so.
February 20, 2012Juancy R.Verified patient
I wasnt sure what to expect with all the previous 5-star reviews, but after seeing her, Dr. Jaff was absolutely amazing. She explained everything clearly, had great advice and recommendations for physical therapy in my area as well. To top it off, great personality, casual and down-to-earth. I hope to not have another injury, but if/when I do I will definitely go back...
February 7, 2012David C.Verified patient
I agree with all prior recommendations. Dr. Jaff is very patient focused and provides clear, understandable explanations--and treatments that are measured and make sense. Physiatrics (rehabilitation medicine physicians) who specialize in orthopedic conditions are not easy to find.

Dr. Jaff was lovely, helpful, and knowledgeable. She arrived about 45 minutes late, due to a subway problem (though the appointment was at 8am.). She helped me out with my problem, and was friendly and personable throughout.
