“I selected this doctor based on reviews I read online and also on location (walking distance from my home). I was impressed by Dr Schaefer’s easy going manner and confidence. He spent sufficient time with me, explained treatment options and then gave me an injection. I feel good about the visit and his care, plan to see him again for follow up. BTW, the office is one of the nicest I’ve been in.”

Great experience overall. The staff confirmed my appointment and reviewed my OON insurance benefits ahead of the appointment. The office is clean and new and the staff was very helpful and pleasant.

Great Dr and staff. Dr Brad will be doing a very tricky foot surgery for me. I feel I’m in great hands after finding a Dr that would be able to help me be pain free.

Dr. Schaeffer is incredibly kind and attentive. He took the time to do a thorough examination and explain various treatment options. The office space itself is beautiful and everyone on the staff was super friendly.
Verified patient
Zocdoc lists Sole central park as an in network provider for many different insurance plans, however they are an out of network provider for all insurance companies as I understand it. I provided my insurance to the front desk on the way into my appointment and confirmed that they accepted it, but was never notified that I would be treated out of network.
Great doctor, highly recommend.
