Dr. Shaffer is the best. She always makes us feel like our concerns are important to her and takes time to listen. She explains our options clearly and without judgement and all around makes us feel like our daughter is getting the best possible care.

Dr. Schaffer is extremely patient. She was willing to see both the older child for well child and infant at the same time which made it super convenient. She’s very understanding for parents and super supportive. We are blessed to have her as our provider for all of our kids now.
