Very knowledgeable and listened
Dr. Shaffer is amazing!!!!! My husband and I are in awe of her care, knowledge, bed side manner, engaging us in decision making, honesty.....
Dr. Schaffer took the time to listen to me on what I was already trying and gave me options to try first.
The doctor included me in discussions regarding my condition, told me the pros and cons of different treatments and included me in the final decision regarding my care.
“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.”
