Hi! My name is Anam Jaffar. Born and raised in Orlando Florida. I attended the University of Central Florida for my bachelors degree in psychology. I then moved to Tampa for 2.5 years to complete my masters education in physician assistant. I’ve always had a passion for skin before I even attended PA school, so I channeled that into my experience in clinical rotations while in school and my first job where I have gained over 4 years of experience in medical dermatology, as well as some aesthetics.
In my free time, I love to hang out with my husband, my family and my two pups. I recently got married this month so I am soaking it in! I enjoy cooking and working out as hobbies as well.
I pride myself on being very attentive and going out of my way for my patients, and hope that I get the opportunity to do that for you as well.
To book an appointment with Anam, call the Orlando Dermatology Center office nearest you, or book an appointment online.
