“Dr. Schaefer is SO down to earth. I immediately felt safe with her-- there was absolutely no judgment about where I am in my journey, and she really put the effort in to understand me better. Her office is very communicative and it was easy to make an appointment, fill out my paperwork, and join the meeting. I highly recommend! ”

“I have been looking for a new doctor for a while and have always had problems with trusting doctors who rarely listened to my actual concerns. In my first meeting with Adelle, she was a great listener and let me essentially speed talk through the last 20 years of my medical history in the 1hr appointment. She validated my concerns with my previous doctors, my current medical concerns, as well as the history that led me to making the appointment with her. I felt very comfortable talking openly with Adelle. She immediately requested a follow appointment to ask me more questions, since I basically spoke the entirety of our first appointment. I am looking forward to working with Adelle as my doctor.”

I have been looking for a new psychiatrist and came upon Dr. Schaefer’s profile. After our intake appointment, she was able to provide ample knowledge that I’ve never received from previous doctors. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new doctor who is knowledgeable, attentive and very friendly!
