    Dr. Schafer is very, very nice. He's very pleasant. He's very concerned and he explains everything, as well as his assistant. I did not get his name, but he escorted me back to the room and he got my injection ready. And they were just extremely nice, even the girl at the front desk. Very, very pleasant, very nice. The whole experience was wonderful. All experiences should be this way. Again, Dr. Schafer and his staff were excellent. Thank you.

    I was seen at the time that I had allotted that I was supposed to be there for. Everyone was very kind and informative. Dr. Schafer is just, I just adore him. And his, I can't think of the guy's name, but the big black dude that comes in before the doctor does, he was very, very nice, always. I really enjoy coming out to the Port St. John Center.

    Dr Schafer is an excellent orthopedic specialist. He prefers alternative therapeutical procedures over surgery whenever possible. Surgery is a last resort unless a patient insists. I'm willing to wait.
