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 Schaefer was very helpful and did everything in his power to help me. Offered virtual visit since I traveled 3 hours to see him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Michael Schaefer's for over 6 years. He has successfully addressed my knee pain issues over that time. He has earned my highest recommendation and has always offered successful, innovative solutions. Top Doc.

I am still debating on if I still want to go to this apt. I called to ask a question regarding my apt and the front desk girl was extremely rude. I did not get her name. I accidentally had the wrong MD name as I was looking at the wrong Apt in my calendar book. She was very irritated that I had the wrong name. Maybe the front desk staff needs additional training on customer service, such as treating patients with a little respect. This type of behavior reflects poorly on the MD.

He was patient with me and really seemed to care about getting me back to normal. I would highly recommend him. He has a calm presence and answered all the questions I had.
