Feb 10, 2018

Dr. Shaffer is great!! Highly recommend him to anyone going through cancer and treatment. Very compassionate and caring. When he says he will call you, he does call you. I am so thankful that we found him. Takes the time with us and answers any and all questions. His staff is friendly and gives 100%. Not enough space to give due justice to Dr. Shaffer and his staff.
