Before dr. Yafi, the experience of other doctors were uneducated and outdated views concerning older men and their low testosterone issues.Dr. Yafi is young, educated, and helpful in the area of older men and the problems associated with low testosterone affecting their lives.I couldn’t believe I found a doctor that actually understands what happens as we age and is willing to work with us to enhance our lives.Since I’ve followed dr. Yafo’s direction my life is significantly improved and I can’t explain what a difference he has made in my life.Thank you Dr. Yafi.

My son had successful urethra reconstruction surgery with another surgeon, but had many lingering side effects. We saw Dr. Yafi and he listened to everything my son was going through and referred us to Sarton Pelvic Floor Therapy. This truly solved all my son's issues. My son is now 100% and he thought he would never be "normal" again. We can't thank you or recommend you enough.
