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.
I've been going to this office and Kristina for about 4-5 yrs now and they have always been wonderful! I drive over an hour to see her when I could easily go somewhere closer. But I'm so comfortable with the staff I will gladly take the drive.

We just moved last year and started our treatments at Legacy. They have all been so kind and understanding and very encouraging. Couldn't ask for a better care team.

Kristina Schaefer consistently goes above and beyond my expectations. I feel lucky to have gotten her when my old provider moved out of the area.

When I lost my MD of 25 years, to retirement; I searched for sometime to find someone that listens and is very thorough. Kristine actually did the do-diligence to find some of my underlying issues that have plagued me for many, many years... I hope that I never need to look again for a MD... Thank You for being the kind of doctor that raises the bar so high!

After moving to Vancouver in May 2018 I had a hard time finding a Physician. I suffer from almost daily migraines and do NOT take pain medication. I had initial consultations with two other highly rated Physicians that treated me so badly I was about to give up. But Kristina Schaefer spent at least one hour with me, learning about me, interested in me and has been nothing but kind, considerate, and is fully engaged in my wellness. She is easy to talk to, no judgement. I am very happy.

Absolutely with no hesitation if they were in the market for a caregiver who "cares".

If I could leave a -0 I would. From the first appointment till the last, Kristina was incredibly rude, snarky, and patronizing. Her bedside manner is appalling. If you want to sit through eye rolls, and scoffs throughout your entire appointment then she’s your practitioner. Otherwise don’t waste your time and find a provider that actually cares.

Kristina is a caring practioner who pays close attention to my concerns and my test results. 18 months ago she emphatically recommended a test program which identified cancer and ultimately saved my life.

I saw Kristina for a back injury and she was awesome. Very thorough and professional but also down-to-earth. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family as she is a rare gem in the medical field these days. She was very friendly and you can tell that she genuinely cares about her patients. A very pleasant experience! The staff were also very friendly. Nice to see smiling faces when you walk in the door!

I am recommending Kristina Schaefer, FNP-BC because she has been carefully /cautiously curious of my 12 year use of hormone therapy. Because I have been principally treated with bio-identical topical hormones for 12 years by a Naturopathic/Endocrinologist in Portland, Oregon none of my needed blood tests for this hormone therapy have been paid for. Now that Kristine has agreed to treat and care for my constant and continuous search for good health and longevity, all my tests are now paid for.
