Been her doctor straight from the womb at 29 weeks (preemie) now 10 years stong. He sings a song to her ever visit. After 10 years he still does it . I’d never know if he was having a bad day because even when not expected he does it ever time, literally! I’m so thankful of him and he will be her doctor til he can’t anymore 🧡

He was silent while checking my 3 year old daughter. He didn't even greet her or say anything to her when he came in. He just put her in the table and started examining her. He hardly greeted me.
I've seen him in the past and he was slightly more friendly but this time was very strange. I had to talk my daughter through what he was doing while he was doing it. It also felt very rushed and he wasn't interested in talking in depth about the concerns I had for her bad sleep problems.

Dr. Schaffer is hands down one of the best pediatricians we’ve ever worked with. He’s personable, attentive, and has a calm, reassuring way with children that puts both parents and kids at ease. My son feels very comfortable with him, which means everything to me as a parent.
What stands out most is how Dr. Schaffer remembers the little details whether it’s something my son mentioned during a previous visit or a concern I brought up months ago. It shows how much he genuinely cares about his patients.
We never feel rushed, and he takes the time to explain things clearly and thoughtfully. I’m so grateful to have him as our pediatrician he makes what can be a stressful experience so much easier.
