Dr. Amanda Pfeiffer is an amazingly talented and compassionate doctor. I came to her after an orthopedic surgeon failed to address my chronic shoulder pain in any meaningful sort of way. She was able to quickly identify the problem and a path forward to resolve it. Thanks to her efforts, I am finally pain free for the first time in nine months! I've already posted on my social networks, recommending her to all of my friends.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
