I have researched him on the internet and his credentials. As with my experience with the Cardiology Department and Doctor Bradley Knight I believe he is of the same medical caliber of doctors that Northwestern is noted for.

I had a Good Visit and all the Staff was helpful and pleasant . Including Dr. Schaeffer. I was also in and out within 1 hour. Would have been a 10 but Dr, Schaeffer only works 95% out of Downtown , it would be nice if he could get more time in the Northern Suburbs.

The care Dr. Schaeffer and his team provided was nothing short of top-notch; his caring for me was evident in every interaction we had (and we continue to have them); I am a surgical patient and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome; his skill, expertise and experience are apparent in every aspect of treatment; I am fortunate to have been referred to him.
