Been a patient for over 20 years. Always feel cared for, listened to and asked good questions. I'm a complicated case and Dr Schaeffer always takes the time needed. Recommend him to anyone.

My family has been seeing Dr. Schaeffer for 20 years now and we would highly recommend him. Always takes the time to listen and explain. Very good with kids of all ages. Like visiting a family friend.

Dr Schaeffer has been my family doctor for 20 years now. He is always willing to listen and outline a care plan that works for me. Appointments are typically available within a reasonable amount of time. The nurse practitioners are both great and readily accessible.

I have had Dr. Schaeffer as my primary for 18 years now. for the first 10 years he listened but the last 8 have not been good. He has progressively gotten worse and stopped listening. He seems to care more about getting more patience in and out than caring for them these days. Takes 1-3 weeks to get an appointment even in an emergency.

I have been a patient for 12 years and really hope I never have to change primary care physicians again. Dr. Schaeffer takes the time to talk about what is going on and asks really good questions. I have always felt confident talking with him about my medical issues and prescibing the best medications for me.
