Dr. Schaeffer Is AMAZING. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding and truly cares about his patients health.

My Biopsy experience with Dr Schaeffer was better by a factor of 10 than my two previous. My initial visit was done quickly, every question was answered, his exam skills are superior. When I developed symptoms, Dr was on vacation. Marie very intelligently suggested that I undergo an MRI, so when Dr returned, we would be weeks ahead. The MRI showed some risk. Dr explained the options to me, and I made the decision to undergo a Biopsy. Dr did this in a way that was significantly less painful than my previous. We were finished in 15 minutes. I would be pleased to recommend this Dr for care

It's my good fortune to live near Chicago where I can be convenient to dr Schaeffer. He is always on time always prepared with knowledge of my history always has enough time to be thorough. He is kind and knowledgeable. I think that I am getting the best treatment anywhere. Somehow he keeps organized even though extraordinary number of patients. He is most knowledgeable. Sotchi is the best assistant imaginable including organization and technical knowledge and communication
