Dr. Schaefer is amazing. I've gone to him a few times and he always takes the time to answer all of my questions, never rushing me or making me feel like my questions are silly. He is incredibly kind and reassuring and always put me at ease. Once I came in without an appointment, totally freaking out after a panic attack; he managed to squeeze me in in between patients, ran some tests, and reassured me that everything was okay. He really goes above and beyond for his patients!

Dr. Schaefer is a very down to earth guy. He has a really good heart (no pun intended) :) He is very professional, caring, genuine and he listens. Definitely the qualities you would want a doctor to have.

Dr. Schaefer is an excellent cardiologist. The whole time that he spoke with me he kept eye contact. He explained in detail what was going on with me and allowed me to ask all the questions I wanted and he really listened. His assistant Chassin (forgive me if it isn't spelled right) was wonderful as well. Also let me not for get the lady at the desk when I first arrived. She was very professional and personable. Great staff working there. I got a clean bill of health, and I hope I never have to see them again. ??
