Patient Reviews
Jul 24, 2021
I was a liver transplant patient of Dr. Schaffer's. His pre-operative and post-operative care was among the best I've ever received. He has a positive "bedside manner" and his staff carry that same attribute. And my scar is barely noticeable. I've really appreciated the care and positive attitude he gave me throughout my care
