"Outstanding experience. I felt updates were timely and helpful. Received excellent care. Surgery was without issue."

-- Jerry Griffin, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, 01/29/2024

"Through the whole process, I was completely a peace with Doctor Schaffer’s skill to do the replacement necessary to give me my life back. He was very personable and willing to explain the process. His staff were so supportive before and after the surgery. I’m already telling all my friends that if they or their family needs heart surgery that Baylor Scott and White Plano are the best they could ever want."
