Excellent, as always. We love our children's Doctor (Megan Shafer, M.D.), she is so helpful and professional and goes above and beyond for us when we need emergency appointments and when we need guidance or have questions. Our kids love her too. My daughter even wants to be a doctor like Dr. Shafer, and my daughter is only three.
