    I would highly recommend Dr. Schiffer. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in her field, but she is also compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener. She has an amazing calming effect which allows her to keep her patients calm and perform the appointment/procedure with the least amount of stress on her patient.
