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.

Fantastic Doctor
Dr. Schaufele listens, examines and makes multiple recommendations as to appropriate treatments, allowing you to make a choice between the various options for your circumstances. Fantastic bedside manner. Not many doctors have the ability or willingness to be a partner in your medical care.

If You Want Excellence and Precise Care!
For more than 15 years Dr. Schaufele has managed my complicated back pain diagnoses. He is caring, empathetic, and extremely skilled in the OR. He has helped me continue my nursing career, but most importantly my quality of life. I have never found him to be hurried and he listens to my concerns. We develop a plan together and then proceed. I could never say enough good things about his precise care. Dr. Schaufele has been voted as a top doctor in Atlanta by his peers for multiple years. His staff is excellent as well. You will not regret using this team. I give them my full vote of confidence.

Quick, Knowledgeable, Personable
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the entire visit was great. The front desk and staff were all friendly, helpful, efficient-but not rushing. Dr. Schaufele didn’t hurry us through the visit either, but was quick. He took time to explain what might be going on with my back, we talked about a plan for getting me better, he explained the meds he prescribed, and what we would be looking for over the next few weeks. I felt well taken care of and knew I was in good hands. 10 out of 10 - highly recommend!

Flawless!!!
I have been suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis for thirty years and have seen many pain specialists along the way. All I can say is that I wish I had known Dr. Schaufele when I was first diagnosed. He treats me with RadioFrequency Ablations and I can use all the positive adjectives that apply, but I would bore you in the process. Jeanine, his assistant, is quick, efficient, courteous and great.

I an very likely to recommend Dr schaufele
Dr Schaufele was thorough and kind and informative…..all my concerns were gone by the time I left his office. moving here a year ago trying to find a doctor in this ocean of doctors has been disheartening. Dr Schaufele gave me hope and eased my anxiety…………..also suggested an amazing back brace I wore and felt much better after just a few days. The medical profession is a better place with him in it

Low back pain
Helped me get therapy before treatment, two treatments for numbing, ablation. Precise spot that hurt before does not hurt, however, in trying to walk more, pain has radiated out. Hope ablation May still help it improve. Even though treatment hasn’t had desired results yet, it still may. I would highly recommend Dr. Schaufele anyway for his carefulness, caring and explanations. I may have other issues causing pain. Really like this doctor.
