Prompt sincere professional- three words that summarize Dr B Shafer | OrthoAz.
Very good at explaining what my knee pain is from and offered treatment options that were realistic and attainable at my age. He has a pleasant way of speaking to patients

Dr. Shafer, his PA and medical assistant were all friendly, knowledgeable and made the visit easy. I felt like I was in good hands.
My time with Dr Shafer was extremely pleasant, informative, and professional.
Both Dr. Shafer and PA Jason are so knowledgeable. They both made me feel comfortable and confident in the treatment plan. I am very impressed w their approach to treatment of my shoulder and elbow. They both took the time to educate me on my home therapy plan.
