As always, Dr. Shaffer provides the highest level of care. We are so thankful for her and how detailed she is. We thought our daughter had an ear infection and we explained the situation to her being post surgery. We weren’t sure and Dr. Shaffer discussed what she thought was going on. She always addresses our concerns and listens to us. We feel very lucky to have a pediatrician like Dr. Shaffer.
