    Dr Schafer was one of the best providers I've seen. She was very accommodating, listened to all my concerns, and followed up with a plan of care. It is hard to find providers that take the time to fully listen to the patient and have an open conversation about their concerns. Amazing provider, very nice and welcoming front office as well.
