Dr Schaeffer always goes out of his way to provide me with the proper treatment. He does his best to get me an appt when I need it even though they are very busy. He always takes his time with me and listens to me.

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.
