  • Nice guy but a crap doctor. Comes across as arrogant and money hungry. Doesn’t listen to concerns until things are beyond control. Delays care and misdiagnoses frequently.

  • I cannot recommend Dr.Chaffin enough. After having an Unpleasant visit with another doctor in his clinic we decided to schedule one with just him. He was able to answer every single question we wanted to know, including holistic questions most doctors can’t answer. He was very thorough and took time out of his very busy schedule to really make sure my daughter needed this surgery. Not only was he great at our consultation, we felt he cared deeply about the healing of our daughter. The surgery staff team was absolutely amazing and made us and our daughter feels so comfortable and safe. he even checked in on her and us after the surgery to make sure everything was wonderful. I am very put off to doctors and surgeons, but definitely have a sweet spot in my heart for Dr. Chaffin. I trust his opinion, And I don’t think he does surgeries unless they’re absolutely needed. He is an incredibly smart man and you can tell his love for children runs deep. We feel very happy he was the one that helped us. The surgery time was very fast And very amazing compared to most stories we have heard.

  • Very grateful for doctors expertise and knowledge of my son’s condition. Sincerely appreciate that he was honest about the condition and not offering fluffy ideas for ways to improve his breathing quality. Feel that he listened well and answered all of our questions.
