Dr. Shaffer is great!! Highly recommend him to anyone going through cancer and treatment. Very compassionate and caring. When he says he will call you, he does call you. I am so thankful that we found him. Takes the time with us and answers any and all questions. His staff is friendly and gives 100%. Not enough space to give due justice to Dr. Shaffer and his staff.
