Dr Schaefer is very professional and very easy to speak to. He has a great "bed side" manner and he took the time to personally talk to me and my wife face to face and answer any of our questions. He even telephoned us after the surgery to check on my well being. Dr Schaefer should be commended for his belief in the hippocratic oath that he took when he became a doctor.
