Dr. Schaeffler was very personable and put me at ease. She seemed extremely knowledgeable and explained clearly, including the tests I would need considering my family history and my cholesterol levels. She explained how plaque develops and steps to take to stop further plaque from developing.

Dr. Schaeffler spent a large amount of time listening to my concerns and explaining my various options. She is obviously well trained, intelligent,up to date and a very good listener. As a retired physician, I know a good physician when I see her. Dr. S. Is a keeper.
