This was my second annual physical with Dr. Schaeffer. I arrived before my scheduled appointment, and was seen early as a result. I have no complaints about the way I was treated. Pertinent topics were discussed, results of my previous visit were reviewed, and multiple options were offered for the issue I was having at the time.
