Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Schaffer and his staff are amazing! Everyone made me feel so comfortable and at ease. From the initial phone call, setting the consultation appointment to each time I check and out, the scheduling & payment department, the nurses and (of course) Dr. Schaffer, every single person greeted me with a friendly and caring smile. Dr. Schaffer and his staff listened to my wants and needs and delivered! I saw Dr. Schaffer after I had a procedure done by another surgeon that gave me a less than desirable result. My breast implant revision (replaced 15 year old saline implants with silicone implants) left me with my left breast much lower than my right and that surgeon tried to convince me that there was nothing wrong. Dr. Schaffer examined me and very patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. He told explained how he could fix the problem and executed the procedure perfectly! My only regret is not finding him sooner so he could have done the revision the 1st time.

I recently underwent a breast reduction and I couldn’t be any happier! Dr. Schaffer and his team are amazing, caring, and made me feel so comfortable. He took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. I’ve dealt with overly large breast for years and finally can feel comfortable in my own skin!!

I love the results of my BBL. I am still shocked at how much flatter my tummy is and how trimmed my waist is because I had a lot of tummy fat. Alot! I look good and can’t stay out of the mirror! I also like how I wasn’t too groggy after surgery and although I was sore, I was almost back to normal after a few days. I recommend Dr. Schaffer.

I love Dr. Schaffer he is a very honest, caring and patience doctor. If you do as he instruct you will have much success. Also do your own research on how to take care of you. Scar can result in you not having the right derm compound cream So do your homework and most importantly have a good support team to take care of you and your investment.. The week of the surgery and after is the most crucial. Dr Schaffer has done his part once he complete the procedure now it’s your turn to take care of your investment ..

I had a breast reduction surgery in September 2018. Dr Schaffer has been professional, patient, and reassuring. I was completely satisfied with the consultation, and the time he took to answer questions regarding the procedure. The day of the surgery everyone on the staff was pleasant, funny, and reassuring. My results are beautiful! I will recommend him to everyone!

I am 2 1/2 months post breast reduction surgery. I had a very specific size in mind prior to my consultation. Dr. Schaffer was upfront and honest with me from day one. He let me know what he was able to do without jeopardizing my health. He is very personable and professional. For this, I'm thankful. I love my results and I am also almost pain free in my back and shoulder areas. Thank you Dr. Schaffer!

I just had a breast reduction performed by Dr. Schaffer on Jun 19th. He is an awesome surgeon. The staff at Hedden Plastic Surgery are all very nice and caring . He listens to your questions and concerns and he answers them very thoroughly. I really like him. I haven't seen the incisions or anything yet but, I'm very confident he did a great job. I would highly recommend him and the staff at Hedden Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Schaffer was excellent. He provided a very professional but comforting experience. I went in for a breast augmentation and lift and love my results. He did an amazing job and i am completely satisfied with the ending. He and his staff provide excellent care and are concerned about client satisfaction. I have since recommended him to several who are looking to improve their appearance. I have never scheduled an elective surgery but am impressed with the experience from start to finish.

I had breast augmentation surgery with Dr Schaffer and could not be more pleased with his work. I scar very easily and decided to have my implants placed through a periareolar incision to try and decrease down my scarring for cosmetic appearance. I am very pleased with my incision. I have very minimal scarring that blends in with my nipple and I have not lost hardly any nipple sensation at all. I have 450cc implants and there have been no issues with this size implant through this type incision.

Dr. Schaffer was awesome! I would use him and recommend him to any of my family and friends. I had a tummy tuck and Lipo on my flanks. I am in awe of the way my belly looks now. I can't believe it when I look in the mirror. Even bathing suit shopping this year was fun for the first time since I had my children. I bought 4 suits! His talent is nothing short of amazing!
