Office is very efficient. Love Dr.Shafer!
Dr. Shafer provided excellent care. He took the time to explain what is the likely cause of the pain and best treatment options.
Dr. Shafer and his PA Bryan were exceptional in explaining the arthritc damage to my shoulder and the treatment options. Dr Shafer was not quick to recommend shoulder replacement unless my pain was much worse and suggested another option in the interim and that was performed. I am confident in recommending him and his team to others.
Great guy! 😊
Caring
Always great to see. He listens very well and comes up with suggestions and options for me
Professional and knowledgeable
Love Dr. Shafer. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. Solved an issue for me that other doctors were unable to address for several years. Highest possible recommendation.
Best bedside manner I’ve seen with a surgeon. Smart and thoughtful. Thank you!
Very pleasant and very proficient
