Worst Physician See someone else. He has serious issues with anger. management. Yelled at me for no reason. Discharged at one time. Charged my insurance but never did the surgery. Please, don't expose yourself to this kind of treatment. Lied about the case even though it is on recording.

Dr Schaff treated my son during his high school sports days and injuries, including knee surgery. I've had three surgeries with him personally. I have changed insurance companies just to be able to have him treat me. He's a rare find - I have complete confidence in his abilities and talent as a surgeon. Great sense of humor, too!

Schauff is one of the best doctors I've ever encountered. He's knowledgable, sincerely cares, and makes the visits with him worthwhile. Although he does see many patients each day, and does not always have time to hang out and chat, he still has a knack for remembering each and every patient he sees. Schauff is one of the best at making sure you understand what your prognosis is, and all of your options to heal it. His level of expertise is insurmountable.Special kudos also go to his nurse, Paul. Together, they make one of the best surgical teams there is. Paul is caring, knows the field, and makes patients feel at ease in otherwise frustrating and painful situations.

Dr. Schaffhausen is a very good and what he does and that would be surgery!! He has a wonderful bedside manner and good disposition, and I would agree he is always rushed. You do need to come in with a list of questions in hand a little bit of hang time and he is on to the next patient. I would not got to anyone else .
