Very thorough and personable. He answered all my questions. He noticed I had a birthday coming up and wished me a good one.

Bedside manner is not the best. He talks over you and does not allow you to ask questions or express your concerns. I am a nurse. And I was shocked at the condescending attitude he directs towards patients. The doctor was unaware I was a nurse.

very rude doctor and does not care about his patients I can't say how he treats his other patients but far as me, he treated me with no compassion or dignity, He told me that I have used my limit for today’s visit I was very concerned about my left hand my index finger they did not take an x-ray and when I confronted him he told me I have reached my limit and made me feel quite uncomfortable. He told me that t physical therapy would take care of it and then walked off and left me

Dr. Shaffer was always very willing to answer my many questions. I don't understand the other reviews I've read on this site. All I can say is that it is often the disgruntled patients who fill out reviews. Before my tendon transfer and osteotomy, I had many, many questions especially because I was going to home on my own after the surgery. He answered them all, and so, I knew beforehand what to expect. The outcome of the surgery was excellent.

He is rude and unprofessional. He didn't want me asking him questions about my concerns. He said to just let me talk.
