I wish more effort had been made to reschedule the review of my echo in a timely manner. Initial appt was canceled by provider. I had to wait another 7 weeks due to my travel. All said I am very happy with Dr Schaeffler I feel she is my ally in heart treatment and my best resource to keeping me heart attack and stroke free!. I'm thrilled to have found her.
