Patient Reviews
May 30, 2023
A colonoscopy is it a pleasant experience but Dr Shaffer can leave you laughing. He always had a joke to tell and on the serious side he provides you with every bit of information about the procedure results and answers any questions you might have. In my old age I have quite a few doctors but he isn’t absolute favorite.
