We had such a wonderful experience with this Dr Jill Jeffe. She took the time to really listen, explained everything clearly, so much so when she asked if we had any questions, I didn't because she explained things so well. She made my child feel comfortable and at ease. It's such a relief to find a provider who is not only knowledgeable but genuinely caring. We felt heard, supported, and confident in the care our child received and will receive. Highly recommend to any parent looking for an excellent pediatric ENT.

Dr. Jeffe is awesome! She came in very prepared. She had clearly read all of the notes about my son prior to our appointment and had great clarifying/follow up questions. She was practical and thorough. She left me feeling like a good parent and like I'm doing a great job of caring for my son's needs- even in the midst of not knowing exactly what is causing his troubles. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jeffe!!!

We were seeing another ENT for my daughter's problem and felt like they were not prepared at all. That is not the case with Dr Jeffe. We walked out feeling like we made the right choice in coming to see her. We know we are in good hands with my daughter's upcoming surgery.
