We have relied on him for years. With good reason. He is an excellent doctor, a kind person, reliable, well-read, up -to -date.

I would not trade him for another doctor! He is very kind and listens to what you have to say. He does not force things on you but makes suggestions why he thinks you should try different medicine or see another doctor, etc.

I have been going to Doc Schaeffer for many years. He is a great Doctor. We have had our misunderstanding , but we have worked them out. I would like for him to work Monday thru Friday and have hours later in the day. Maybe come to work later in the day so he could have later hours for appointment..I know the hours he works now , he works late doing paperwork. I wish he could work out hours tht go later in the day for patients.
