Caring Great bedside manners Steroid shot into hip was painless I highly recommend doctor schaefer
Professional…Skilled and caring… The Doctor and all Staff…
Dr. Schaefer is great with his patients. He is a talented surgeon. Always puts a lot of time in explaining procedures & putting his patients at ease before surgery.
Waiting room backed up, and after more than an hour's wait, Dr. Schaefer spent less than 5 minutes with me, not even looking at my bad ankle.
Knowledgeable and attentive
Put me at ease and made the suggestion that I see Mr. Hedricks
Kind and compassionate and really good at what he does … thank you, Doc, and blessings upon your new position in the Lowcountry.
