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.

Dr. Schaefer is outstanding! I am 70 years old and have seen my share of doctors...he is at the top of my list!

My husband and I have been patients of Dr Schaefer for about 5 years and have seen other members of his team although we have scheduled appointments with Dr Schaefer. His office is seemingly overwhelmed with the number of patients as there is always a problem with scheduling. The staff makes little effort to listen and work with patients. We have heard others complain as well. Our overall care is fragmented because we haven’t seen the same provider.

My primary Dr. for over 14yrs. I also live 2hrs away and will not look for another Dr. Because of the trust and respect that the clinic has provided for me. Professionalism and common courtesy you won't find anywhere else.

Dr. Schaefer is attentive and extremely knowledgeable. I have full confidence when undergoing my examinations that he will properly diagnose my ailment. He won't prescribe medications just to keep me patient happy. He's been our family doctor for 13 years and I've always been completely satisfied as a patient.

Remarkable compassion. Understands his patients well. Attentive to their unique needs. He is always trying to source ways to improve his client's overall health and well-being. His staff is exceptional, they are intelligent, listen well and very respectful in their interactions. Requests regarding medication refills are amazingly prompt.
