Personally I've been seeing Dr Schaeffer for approximately 20yr because he listens to me and is not forceful in treatment recommendations and I Personally have trust issues with Dr who oversee my health issues. Therefore Dr Schaeffer is and will be my PCP until he no longer wants me as a patient or I pass on
