What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I saw Dr. Shafer when I went to urgent care clinic. Everyone i encountered was friendly and courteous (how refreshing!). I was in and out within an amazingly short period and left feeling I was understood. I recently moved to the area and WILL be calling for a new patient appointment to get established with a new GP because I was so pleased with how this visit went.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
The doctor was very thorough and compassionate. Took his time to understand our medical history and address concerns. He was great with my children and made it a positive and comfortable experience for them. He explained everything to me in a way I could understand. It was an urgent care visit for 3 out of my 5 children, but one of the best doctor visit experiences we have ever had anywhere.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
This was a walk-in visit on a Sunday when the Tawas clinic was closed. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I received treatment for my issue in a timely manner. Dr Schafer was very efficient but took time to explain everything and asked more than once if I needed help with any other health issues. He was very pleasant (unlike my regular provider..)
