Again I did research on Dr Schaeffer and I found him to be what I believed he would be as a doctor I could trust and talk to. I’m these trying times it is extremely rare to have a doctor call you and have a meaningful discussion about your condition. Again I have to put the doctors I have dealt with and even the interns and support staff in this category attentive at Northwestern Hospital.
