If I’m a little late like 15 minutes they canceled me out but I had to sit there for almost an hour to see the doctor do you think that’s fair?

He is just doing great
Sep 2, 2025
He was very thorough and professional. By giving me instructions from the start on what to do, to have the many things diagnosed through my blood test to get better. Plus he also asked many questions on how well I was doing with my current situation, diagnosis and prescriptions. All throughout he never missed a beat, to make me feel most confident to why I have chosen him as my health provider...year after year. His office always goes way beyond with any of my health/mental concerns. To make my visit most pleasant. To give me the continuing confidence I need, to why I choose his office... year after year. To provide me with the professional health services that I need. Dr. Schaeffer and his care team are the very best. I would not hesitate to encourage anyone to use their services. They are always, all top notched and nothing less. Thank you...

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.
