Patient Reviews
Jul 28, 2022
Dr Schafer delivered my daughter and throughout my pregnancy and delivery and post-delivery, he was amazing. He was always calm and seriously listened to all my concerns, even when I knew they were pregnancy-brain worries. His bedside manner was always gentle and calming. Amazing doctor - I actually looked forward to appointments with him.
