The providers at Penns Valley really care about their patients.
“As an athlete, I had my share of injuries and first learned medicine from the perspective of a patient. For me, it’s important to approach each patient as if I’m treating a family member. I want to work with them to do what’s in their best interest and be their advocate.”
Mallory Schaffer, MD
