51 Patient Reviews for
Dr. Schaffer

"Dr. Schaffer is very courteous, friendly, personable. He listens to your concerns, He discusses these with you. He discusses what he feels should be done, and how you feel about it. The prognosis, and the alternative.

After the surgery, he is always there to check on you, to see how you are doing. I am 84 years old. There are many surgeons that would not have taken the risk to operate on an 84 year old.

After talks with Dr Schaffer, I was willing to take the risk. We always have to look at the risk vs the benefits. Dr Schaffer was willing to take the risk.

Surgery went well. I am doing good. My sincere thanks to one of he best ever, Dr. Schaffer and all his surgical team and all his staff. Dr. Schaffer is one who is really concerned and cares about his patients."

"This was my third open heart surgery, the second to deal with the valve. Dr. Schaffer was amazing! He fully explained the procedure and was present to answer any questions. He was there before and post surgery unlike my past experience where I had little contact with the surgeon. I would highly recommend him for heart surgery!"
