Dr Patrick Schafer impressed me as a knowledgeable surgeon during my initial medical appointment. At that time, I was in a significant amount of pain and Dr Schafer listened to my concerns, answering my questions with clear explanations about all treatment options available to me. His comprehensive responses gave both my care team and me confidence in proceeding with surgery. Dr Schafer’s exceptional surgical skill has resulted in increased mobility and significant pain alleviation for me. Additionally, his and his medical office team’s attentive care during both the pre-operative and post-operative phases has been exemplary. Throughout my experience, I found Dr Schafer to be highly skilled, attentive to me as a patient & extremely thorough. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

He did not seem very interested in me. Crossed his arms frequently. Didn't hold gaze to me. No smile. Seemed bored
