Dr. Edward William Schaefer JR., MD

I saw him for a sleep disorder. For a while all was well. I started having problems with one medicine. He said it wasn't from the medication. I said recent research studies from established medical journals indicated this side effect. He became livid and shouted at me "show me the data!!" I did and he promptly transferred me to a specialist as he didn't know how to handle the complications from this medicine. So that's how he treats his patients if there is a side effect of a medicine that he isn't aware? No thanks. Not only is he unfamiliar with side effects of one medicine he prescribed, but his loss of temper is uncalled for and unprofessional.

Willing to take your $$$ but not willing to address your medical problems. Dr. Schaefer does NOT listen and does not take notes. I went to him because I have insomnia and he sent me for a sleep study anyway. I slept 30 minutes (you are REQUIRED to sleep from 11:30 pm - 5:30 am, NO EXCEPTIONS). When I went for my test results, Dr. Schaefer was very flippant, "So your sleep study was a bust," (direct quote). During the appointment he answered his cell phone and had a 7 min. conversation and never apologized for being so rude! He offered no solutions to my insomnia. He told me to come back in 4 months but the receptionist refused to make the appointment.

Doctor Schaefer is a thorough and caring doctor. He does not rush a visit and LISTENS!
