    The office is great and Dr Schafer was awesome during the treatment. The Parrish scheduler and main phone lines are terrible. Every office really needs to go back to scheduling their own appointments. The office runs smoother. You can get in contact with the office easier. It's frustrating trying to call and then going to an operator and waiting for them to contact the office. There doesn't need to be a middle man for that.

    Hi, I wanted to thank Dr. David Schafer for going above and beyond to fit me into his really busy schedule. I had an urgency that he addressed and he took the time with me, even though I know his clinic was really busy that day, he took the time with me that I needed to be able to have my problem taken care of and have a really definitive plan moving forward. I feel confident that I'm getting the best care possible. So again, wanted to thank him for going above and beyond to make himself available when need
