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.

NEVER AGAIN!
Sorry but I don't think Dr's should discuss politics with a patient which has happened with this Dr. He's not the only one who discussed politics in this office. When you are at a medical appointment that is what should be discussed unless the patient brings something else up. I do not what to be made to feel my political beliefs are wrong by ANY much less my won Dr!

My husband and I have been with Dr Schaffner for..."years". He is an excellent Dr who cares, spends many hours (over and beyond the call) for his patients and we cannot say enough about him!

Dr. DAN took me on as a patient when I was self employed and uninsured. He jas been my PCp for over 15 years, and has saved my life twice in that time frame. Once from Valley Fever, and once with pneumonia. He recently helped me land a job after a medical issue popped up during a pre-employment exam, and follow up was needed. Easy to talk to, and down to earth person. Thank you Dr. DAN!

The only great thing about my elderly mom living in the little backward town of Oakhurst is that she has this fantastic dr who really cares about her and listens! Once, she was in the waiting room just to pick up a friend (no appt of her own) and she happened to cough while the good Dr was in hearing range. He immediately recognized her problem and got her treatment for her walking pneumonia! He is on top of new information and flexible in his thinking. I am very grateful to him!
