    “Dr. Kafi is a phenomenal dermatologist who I have had the good fortunate to work with when I was a resident trainee and as an attending physician. His excellence in broad areas within the field of dermatology (dermatopathology, complex medical dermatology, inpatient consultations, dermatologic surgery) is very unusual amongst practicing dermatologists in today's practice. He provides compassionate care and is an outstanding teacher. I would recommend my closest family members to see him as a patient. He is most deserving of this award!”
