      I’m a retina specialist who takes care of patients who have problems with the back of the eye. When a patient comes to see me, I like getting to know them and their history, so that I can tailor their treatment. My patients come from a variety of different backgrounds, so I find that I often learn as much from them as they do from me. Everybody has a different story and I very much like to learn about the patients to whom I provide care. Duke is a great place at which to work and from which to seek treatment because it’s a very collaborative institution. Everyone works together to do what’s best for the patient. Outside of work, I like to spend as much time as possible with my family. I also enjoy cooking, playing sports and watching sports. Dr. Jaffe is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Birdshot Chorioretinopathy. His top areas of expertise are Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), Late-Onset Retinal Degeneration, Geographic Atrophy, Vitrectomy, and Trabeculectomy.

      As a medical retina specialist, I am passionate about providing state-of-the-art care to patients with age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and other macular diseases. I approach each patient as an individual and strive to provide care that addresses his or her unique needs and goals.

In my role as a physician, I enjoy most the enduring relationships that I build with patients and their families, and the opportunities that I have to make a lasting positive impact on their lives. In addition to patient care, I maintain an active clinical and laboratory research program.

      I specialize in the medical and surgical management of cataracts and glaucoma. In my clinic, we utilize the latest imaging techniques to detect glaucoma and track any possible progression so we can treat the disease before it adversely affects quality of life. My goal is to provide individualized care, tailoring my approach to each patient, to treat their eye disease effectively. This partnership involves taking time to educate patients on the anatomy and pathology involved with their visual symptoms, and then making decisions together about potential treatment options based on the best available research and evidence. As glaucoma is a chronic disease, I value building long-lasting relationships with my patients. I also enjoy educating trainees at the Duke Eye Center. Outside work, I enjoy time with family, traveling, and playing tennis. I’m honored to have the opportunity to help people with their eye diseases. I look forward to meeting you.

      What is the definition of Birdshot Chorioretinopathy?

      Birdshot chorioretinopathy is an eye condition in which painless, light-colored spots develop on the retina. These spots are scattered in a "birdshot" pattern. The effects of this condition on vision are quite variable; some individuals' vision is only mildly affected, whereas others experience a significant decline in vision, the appearance of floaters (small specks that appear in one's line of sight), night blindness, and other vision problems. The cause of Birdshot chorioretinopathy is currently unknown, but it is suspected to be an autoimmune disease.

      When should I see a Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor in North Carolina, US?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor in North Carolina, US?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctors in North Carolina, US?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctors in North Carolina, US?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor in North Carolina, US?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor in North Carolina, US?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctors in North Carolina, US?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Birdshot Chorioretinopathy doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
