Patient Reviews
Apr 05, 2019
Was recommended to Dr. Gaffney by our family physician when my daughter injured her ankle. She had a bad sprain and displaced fracture. We were able to schedule an appointment for an evaluation, and Dr. Gaffney was very thorough and explained the injury and followup care. Would recommend Dr. Gaffney.
