Patient Reviews
Apr 02, 2021
Absolutely would recommend our GP/family doctor Scott Schaeffer, and have recommended him many times during our decades-long relationship where he has gotten to know my family and me as people, not just patients. Now, since he is affiliated with MDVIP and has a smaller practice, he is accessible extra-quickly. He has always been a sympathetic listener and detailed explainer, sharing his extensive knowledge with us patients and, when necessary, never hesitated to order tests and has always referred us to excellent specialists. And considering our numerous medical issues (no fault of his!), he has kept our bodies functioning well. Even giving Covid vaccine. The MDVIP resources and online access to our recent medical records offer us ways to be more proactive about our health. We appreciate him and all he's done for us!
