    Dr. Schafer was very through and knowledgeable...he listened and explained what the possibilities and likely outcomes of my concerns could be. We decided on treatment program that we both agreed on. Would highly recommend him to anyone...

    Hi, the staff team in person is absolutely professional. The doctor is very knowledgeable and always listens and doesn't force anything on the patient and lets them make their own choice while giving educational options. The only thing I do not like about Parrish is all the automated call center situations that you have to deal with. I'd rather be able to call the office and actually speak to someone versus a call center and then they have to transfer me to the appropriate office because a lot of the times

    Dr. Schafer is THE BEST! He listens, is empathetic, and he's been through the same injuries as I! Have been and will continue to work with him! A real knowledgeable professional!

    Dr. Schafer was awesome. He did a great job. My shoulder doesn't hurt. It's great. I'm happy. I don't know what else to say. I'm out of pain. My shoulder doesn't hurt no more.
