    Dr Schiffer and her team were outstanding. I came from out of state and would hands down continue traveling to keep her as my DR. She made the surgery experience and recovery better by checking on me daily herself and having her colleagues check on me. I've never experienced this level of care and concern before. She made sure to explain everything with regards to the surgery and recovery. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to her.

    Dr Schiffer listened to all my concerns related to my condition. Sh really wanted me to gain my quality of life back. I wish the system had allowed me to see her earlier versus waiting 2 years. I am so relieved to finally be under her care.
