Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A mensch of a doctor

Would NOT recommend
He’s treated both of my elderly parents blowing off their legitimate concerns. My father fortunately sought a second opinion winding up with 5 stents. My mother even with a visiting nurse calling Dr Schaefer is now in the hospital which all could’ve been avoided if he would take her health seriously.

Positive Change
After dreading my annual visit, what a breath of fresh air to see Dr. Schaffer’s new staff. Finally, the office culture shifted to a warm, & caring healthcare space now that his previous workers are gone. Dr. Schaffer is an excellent doctor, and he deserves employees whose behavior, manners, & character are congruent with his. I hope to see Dr. Schaffer’s practice flourish because there are not very many doctors like him anymore.

I became a patient of Dr. Jeff Schaffer about six years ago. I have always found his staff to be professional and friendly. Dr. Schaffer is a very considerate and caring person. He has been able to resolve my many concerns about my medical issues. At each visit he takes the time to listen to my questions and provide me with full clarification that puts me at ease. Best of all, over time my health and weight has been improving! I consider myself lucky to have found such a qualified and competent physician.

Dr. Schaffer is a caring, kind & trustworthy physician. As a pharmacist, I look for a physician that pays attention to details & that is responsive to my needs. Dr. Schaffer is by far one of the brightest men I have ever met. He utilizes these skills to help patients and I have seen this first hand in the office. If you want a wonderful and caring family physician, internist & cardiologist, go so Dr. Schaffer.

Dr. Schaffer has been my family's care physician for over thirty years. Our first family patient was my beloved grandmother, who Dr. Schaffer cared for with medical expertise combined with sensitivity and compassion. My father, another of Dr. Schaffer's patients, depended upon him for care and support throughout his cancer ordeal. My Mom and I have trusted Dr. Schaffer with our health, including several health emergencies. We have all greatly appreciated the hard work and kindness of his staff.
