Mar 23, 2024
I worked for Dr Schafer for 4 years, I have to say I’ve seen the worst of the worst, and he is a kind, caring and very knowledgeable dr.. I trusted him with my children at the time, especially when my oldest daughter had an eye accident I was so worried about her vision, but he took good care of her and to this day her eyesight is fine..
