Dr. Shaffer is thorough and takes time to discuss everything. I haven't ever felt like she didn't want to take the time to answer my questions. Always explains things in layman's terms and is very complete in her answers and explanations.

I have been to Dr Shaffers office 3 times for the last 2 years. I do believe in the decisions she make. Today I had a cyst removed from my scalp. Procedure went good, she answered all the questions I asked, showed me what the cyst was made out of by my request. Her nurses were pretty nice and were talking to me the whole time to insure everything is going good and I'm not passing out. The only con for me is the location - too far away from downtown MO.
