Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2023
Dr Schaffer explains everything thoroughly and does not perform unnecessary procedures or tests. He operated on both my husband and me for Cataracts without any problems whatsoever. Surgery went smoothly and I was very happy with the aftercare. He seems genuinely concerned about his patients and their happiness. I highly recommend him to anyone needing eyecare.
