I have an amazing doctor that actually takes the time to sit down to listen to what is wrong with me, and he will take his time to make sure that I get whatever tests I may need done. I appreciate having a good doctor who actually cares,who has compassion for his patients. It would be great if we had more doctors like him. I know that we do but they are very hard to find. Dr.Schaeffer is one of those Doctor's who are exceptional in his work and he definitely has compassion for his patients. I just want you to know that I'm blessed to have him as my physician.

It is all good with Dr. Schaeffer
I look forward to visits/appointments with all, at his location
Yes.
He really listens and explains things to you
Great service.
Friendly and gets to the point.
As I have stated my Dr is thorough with my care, he explains everything if I have any questions or concerns about. He takes the time to sit down and listen to any of my concerns which is very important to me. Most Doctor's don't care about taking the time to sit down with their patients. They are in such a hurry to get on to the next patient. That they don't care to listen to what their concerns are because they have so many patients that they are taking care of so you feel like you are on some kind of assembly line. So this is what I have felt like in the past from previous experiences. Dr Schaeffer does not do anything like this to me nor has he ever I can tell you that he is kind, caring, gentle, curtious,loving, great listener, compassionate he is one of the best Doctor's that I have ever had and he genuinely cares about his work as well as his patients. I have been very blessed to have Dr. Schaeffer for my Healthcare provider.
I’ve made many times for the surveys. Dr Schaeffer is probably one of the best doctors I’ve had since going primary physicians. I’m 68 years old and I will never leave him. He gives you plenty of time to review the issues and explain in detail what’s going on. You could not ask for a better doctor and Dr Schaeffer.
Everyone is great
Always a pleasure to meet with him
Over the years I have seen many family doctors and Schaeffer is by far the best!
