Dr. Meagan Schaffer,is truly wonderful! From the moment you walk in, you feel listened to and cared for. They take the time to explain everything clearly, making sure you understand without ever feeling rushed. I really appreciate how patient and gentle they are, and how they treat you with kindness and respect. It’s rare to find a doctor who is not only knowledgeable but also so compassionate. I feel very lucky to have them as my children doctor!”
