Dr. Julie Jaffe, MD

Dr Jaffe works to connect with her patients. Occasionally this takes more time than planned. This does impact her schedule. Instead of ignoring a long wait, she acknowledges your wait and apologizes. This happens because her patients are her first priority. One simply cannot leave until Dr.Jaffe believes you understand all the information about your disease. She insists on understanding the patients experience with their disease and treatments. Dr Jaffe arrives in your exam room. She is prepared, she has your medical file in hand with highlighted sections, test results, and comments from attending RNs in the infusion center. Nothing about you is overlooked. Her lack of professional ego allows her to comfortably send patients to Stanford and UCSF for confirmation and outside opinions. A patient never has to ask for a second opinion, she insists on them. Upon arrival to UCSF and Stanford; patients are told how lucky they are to have such high quality care in Santa Cruz.

Dr. Jaffe is an amazing, caring doctor. She treats people like family and show you she really cares deeply about you.

Dr. Jaffe and her staff are caring, gentle and professional.
