She was rushed but I don't fault her for that because all doctors seem to be too rushed these days.
If there werw a "10" choice I would have selected it!!! Dr. Schaffer was by far the most patient focused provider I have experienced in a LONG time. Do whatever it takes to keep her at MNPG! She is knowledgeable, professional, and patient focused.
I really appreciated Dr. Schaffer's approach to problem solving and diagnosing. I was so impressed with her and appreciated her expertise. She approached the recommendation for treatment so respectfully and explained clearly and compassionately. I would recommend her without hesitation.
I would recommend everyone.
“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.”
