Very thorough, professional and courteous at all times. He interacts with his team, and provides very good advice and counsel to me as his patient. He has advised me take preventative tests based on my age, (which I am in the process of scheduling) and that’s me with respect.

Is very concerned about his patients and wants to know as much as possible in order to address our needs and concerns. He is thorough and respectful. This was a new patient appointment - the visit was not rushed - Dr. Schaeffer was thorough and genuinely interested to learn as much as possible about my past history and current health concerns .

Not rated more highly because it was first visit and relationship not really tested yet. I would increase to a 10 if relationship was more tested and my reaction was same as it is for initial visit./
