    Dr. Schafer is an excellent listener and does not make you feel rushed during your appointment. Explains everything thoroughly and answers all questions. I really appreciate the time and attention he gives to my situation.

    Follow up has still not been taken care of. Still no treatment. No Xray as an mri needs to done. Over three months into pain and no help except prednisone which helped but no cure.

    Dr. Schaffer is absolutely awesome. He takes the time to listen. He takes the time to explain. He takes the time to give you the pros and cons. And most of all, he actually takes the time. I do not feel like I'm being pushed out of his office, you know, like you normally would with parish doctors normally, you know, you feel like you're assembly line. He doesn't do that, and I truly appreciate that. So yay, yay, Dr. Schaffer. Please keep him on staff. Thank you.
