I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Schaffer and his wonderful staff. After giving birth to my three children, my body was in definite need of help. Through diet and exercise I had gotten back into shape, but I still had numerous stretch marks,sagging skin, and a sad excuse for what used to be a belly button. My hips and thighs no longer looked athletic as there seemed to be a layer of fat that just wouldn’t budge despite my best efforts. My breasts had always been too large causing me problems, but after the children, they were left extremely droopy causing me even more back trouble than before. I was extremely nervous at my consultation with Dr. Schaffer. I had a hard time allowing even my husband to see me naked. To bare it all for a doctor was nothing short of terrifying. I got myself all worked up for nothing. Dr. Shaffer was extremely pleasant and put me at ease right from the start. I felt very comfortable and confident with him; so much so, that I scheduled my surgeries that very day. I am now four months post-op, and I couldn’t be happier. The surgeries were completely life-changing. Dr. Schaffer gave me confidence in myself that had been missing for years.”

My experience with Dr. Eric Schaffer and his staff was absolutely wonderful. Words cannot describe how grateful I am with the care I received. The staff who work for Dr. Schaffer are so friendly and helpful, and from my first consultation all the way throughout my recovery I received excellent care. Dr. Schaffer is an outstanding surgeon and has exceeded my expectations. After having children my body changed dramatically and I was left with excess skin around my stomach and saggy breast, I lost confidence with the way I looked and needed a change. I did some research and found Dr. Schaffer and so happy I did, he is an artist and has helped change the way I look forever. I have NEVER had a tummy this flat before and I look great! Im looking forward to bathing suit shopping for the first time in years. Thank you so much! Dr. Schaffer, Victoria and Debbie.

I have always had smaller breasts, but learned to love them, when they were in their perky prime. However, 3 children, and now in my 30’s, they turned in small sagging breasts. Very unhappy with their shape since after my birst born, I have been wanting this done for 11 years. My husband, finally caving in researched online for the perfect doctor, and was very impressed with Dr. Schaffers website, so we scheduled a consult. Arriving at the office, the first thing you are greeeted with is the wonderful staff of ladies, that treat you like an old friend, and make you feel right at home. We were immediately impressed with Dr. Schaffer’s thoroughness. He strives for perfection, and offers the best recommendations based on what the client is looking for. I am only 3 weeks post op, and am in love with my new breasts. My recovery was much faster than expected, after just 5 days I was only taking extra strenght tylenol, and back to taking care of all 3 kids while the hubby was at work, with no problems. It is also comforting to know that I will be a patient of Dr. Schaffer for the life of my implants, as he will continue to see me to ensure my breasts remain at their best.

I interviewed several doctors for years and after interviewing Dr. Schaffer I was instatntly pleased and very comfortable going forward with my tummy tuck. The staff was very helpful and informative of the cost of the procedure. Preoperative and postoperative instructions were very informative and I new exactly what to expect. I was very comfortable prior to the procedure and after the procedure.

I was recommended to Dr. Schaffer by a friend who had her breast augmentation done by him. Her results were amazing so I chose to go to him for my breast augmentation as well. At my first appointment I had no idea what size I wanted even though I had done some research. When Dr. Schaffer came in he was very friendly and professional. He started by explaining in detail what type of implants are available, what type he recommends and why, the placement of the implants and answered any questions I had. He then let me try on different sizes of implants so I could see how they will look on me. He was very patient with me as I was a little indecisive as to what size I liked best and had to try on the same ones a few different times. The staff was extremely friendly and made my visits as pleasant as possible. I had my pre-operation appointment with Debbie and she eased a lot of my concerns and made sure I had all the information I needed to be as prepared as possible for my surgery. The day of surgery went as planned and I was checked in by 6 a.m. and checked out by noon. All of my follow up visits with the staff and Dr. Schaffer have been like visiting with friends and they all seem as excited as I am to be there. My results were better than I imagined and I highly recommend Dr. Schaffer for any cosmetic surgery. I am also having laser hair removal done by Victoria which I receive at a discounted rate due to having my breast augmentation done there. Procedure Performed: Breast Augmentation (Saline Implants)

I had searched all over Tx, and Oklahoma looking for a Dr. I know a lot of girls who have been to different doctors. But the one who stood out the most was Dr. Schaffer. I wanted to go under my arm and not my boob. I didn’t want a big scar under my boob. I went for a consultation and was very impressed with him and his staff. I am 5′8 and 150lbs with wide shoulders so I wanted to go big. We talked about doing 700-750cc. I asked him before surgery to use his expert opinion while I was on the table to add as much cc as he thought I needed for the look I wanted. Very happy with his opinion he went for 775cc. I’m not a petite woman so they look very nice on my body type. He was very professional as well as his staff. It’s been 13 days since my surgery and I’m doing well and very happy. A little tender under the arm but its to be expected with the amount off cc’s we used. Surgery went well. I would recommend him to anyone, and if I wanted any other plastic surgery he will be my first call. Thank you so much Dr. Schaffer and your staff for everything.

During my initial consultation with Dr. Schaffer he immediately made me feel comfortable enough to ask him all the questions that I desired. He went into deep detail about the procedure and made sure to cover all the basics. This made me feel confident in his ability to give me the desired look I was aiming for. I could not be happier with the results and couldnt thank Dr. Schaffer and his staff enough.

After doing extensive research meeting with 3 other surgeons I decided to go with Dr. Schaffer! What an amazing Dr. and Staff. They were welcoming from the moment I came into the office. I never felt rushed. He answered all my questions and even though I knew about my procedure he explained how he would do everything. After surgery I looked amazing.Still do! My incision is very low and is covered my bikini. He does the BEST belly buttons. It’s cute, the right size for my body and where it suppose to be! SO CUTE! Many people can’t even tell I had a tummy tuck and that’s the point. If I would consider any other surgery in the future I would go to Dr. Schaffer without thinking twice. His office manager was helpful and super sweet! You don’t feel like just another patient with them! They remember your name and it’s amazing! Thank your Dr. Schaffer and Staff for the amazing work you did. You brought me back to life! Procedure Performed: Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Hi Dr. Schaffer!
I just want to tell you I get compliments ALL of the time on your work. I give out your number about twice a month and my surgery was in 2004 I believe lol! Thank you;-) The best surgeon ever.

Hello Dr. Schaffer,
It’s been a little over 7 months since my procedure and I am overjoyed! Once again, I extend my sincerest gratitude to you and your phenomenal staff. May God bless you every single minute of the day!

-AB

I’m only in the healing process, and I can honestly say you ve done a better job than I could have ever hoped or expected. My breast augmentation was 2 weeks ago, (on your birthday.:) ) and they’re already perfect. Im sending so much work your way, I hope you’re prepared for it!

-AG

Dr. Schaffer & his staff are courteous, professional and genuinely care about the people that come in to their office. I highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to anyone & everyone that needs or wants cosmetic surgery.

-PB

I have done much research in finding the right surgeon for my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I feel that there needed to be the right balance of respect, professionalism, knowledge, skill and personal connection between myself, the doctor and his staff. Dr. Schaffer s staff is the hub of his office. They made me feel comfortable and welcome. They are also extremely knowledgeable in the office operations and hospital policies as well as pre and post op information. Dr. Schaffer s documented accolades that hang in his office are certainly impressive, but do not do him justice when you meet with him in person. He is extremely professional. He listens carefully to what you d like to achieve and based on his complete assessment of your body and your goals, will give you his best recommendation. Dr. Schaffer is a perfectionist. He is meticulous in his work and will not rush your procedure because his scheduled time in the operating room will end soon. This was one of the most important things that I was looking for in a doctor. I felt that because I was investing a lot of money and time, the procedures needed to be done right. Needless to say, I am very happy with the end results. I truly feel that I made the right choice with Dr. Schaffer and his staff. If you are seeking a doctor with a staff who is professional, respectful, knowledgeable and highly skilled, I would highly recommend that you make an appointment to see Dr. Schaffer. I promise you, you will not regret it.

After 3 consultations with plastic surgeons in San Antonio I ran into a friend that had gone to Dr Schaffer for a tummy tuck. She gave me nothing but awesome things to say about him so I made an appointmet for a consultation. After going to 3 previous consultations with doctors who spent maybe 15 min. with me before ushering me out to see the next patient I was stunned that Dr Schaffer spent over an hour with my husband and I going over what to expect and giving me details that the other doctors did not. When we left we were not pressured into scheduling surgery, something that was done elsewhere. The office staff was so polite and nice I left with a great feeling. I am currently 1 month and 1 week post op from my tummy tuck and I couldnt be happier with my result! The great thing is that its only going to get better with time. I have 2 children and had quite a bit of skin and fat that nothing was going to get rid of. Even at my first post op appointment to have my dressings removed I thought “is this me?!” I am so pleased and happy I just cant say enough about Dr Schaffer and his staff. After going back and forth for years I finally did it. Every day I look better and better. I am so happy that I no longer have to agonize over clothes that will cover my loose stomache and wearing 2 (yes 2)panty girdles all the time!

I wanted and needed to have my old (1983) breast implants removed an replaced. They had become so hard and mis-shapen that I was embarrassed to be seen, even by my husband, unless fully covered. Because of the protusions and bumps, all of my clothes, including my swimsuits, had high necklines. I began researching plastic surgeons. I found a few that looked promising but after interviewing the surgeons office managers, I didn t feel fully confident in the surgeons. I continued researching and found that Texas Monthly Magazine had honored Dr. Schaffer as a Texas Super Doctor . As I read about Dr. Schaffer I felt like he was the one . I then did a bit more research and found only favorable reports. I spoke with Debbie, Dr. Schaffer s office manager, a few days later. She was incredibly warm, caring, and professional; I felt completely comfortable and confident with her. I scheduled an appointment for a consult and to interview Dr. Schaffer. At my appointment, Dr. Schaffer was very sincere and addresed my surgery needs. He took the time to explain the procedures in detail. Dr. Schaffer wanted to hear all of my questions and concerns, so that he could speak to each and every one. The entire staff made sure I was comfortable throughout my procedure and my healing. If I had any questions, there was always someone available to answer them. Never once did I feel like I was simply just another patient. The entire staff is very professional and caring and I could not have asked for anything more. I am extremely pleased with the results from my surgery. I am no longer embarrassed; I can wear whatever I want and know I look great! On a side note, I drive a total of 5 to 6 hours (depending upon traffic) for my appointments with Dr. Schaffer. He is worth every moment on the road! Thank you Dr. Schaffer!

I came to Dr. Schaffer for replacement of my ruptured silicone implants that were over 20 years old. I was recommended to Dr. Schaffer by a well respected family physician in San Antonio. I did my research on Dr. Schaffer to make sure he was board certified and that he was experienced. After a thorough consultation, I decided to switch to saline implants since they were very soft and natural looking. Although the surgery took longer than anticipated it was because Dr. Schaffer is so particular and meticulous in his work. He strives for perfection and I appreciate how hard he worked on me to give me the best result possible, beautiful, natural breasts. I would like to mention how gentle, and kind his nurse Nancy is and how comfortable she made me feel. I would highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to anyone who asks. He is the best!!!

-DG

Dr. Schaffer was wonderful. He replaced a ruptured implant and corrected the placement that the previous doctor had done wrong to begin with. I wish that I had seen Dr. Schaffer to begin with. He was very caring and did a wonderful job in matching my other breast.

-LH

I received a breast augmentation from Dr. Schaffer and I am very pleased with the results. They look very natural and I didn’t have to wear a special bra or drainage tubes. These are hallmarks of a properly done augmentation and I wouldn’t hesitate to have another procedure performed by Dr. Schaffer.

-VB

I love Dr. Schaffer’s new Laser hair removal machine! It is painless and fast, I was able to get my bikini, legs, arms and back done in an hour. I am also very impressed with the the amazing staff! They are so warm and friendly, they did a great job at making me feel comfortable. I recommend this procedure to all my friends. I never have to worry about shaving anymore and all my embarrassing hair is gone! Thank you Dr. Schaffer and staff!!

-AS

Dear Dr. Schaffer,

I just wanted to write you and thank you for alleviating my pain with the breast reduction surgery. I would say, I have been enduring this pain for over 20 years, and I can honestly say that I felt immediate relief from pain, as soon as I awoke in the recovery room. My neck pain…gone. My shoulder pain…gone; as well as my back pain. It was such a glorious feeling. I tried several things before agreeing to try this. I had neck surgery and shoulder surgery and even physical therapy without any relief. I am now sleeping better, walking straighter, and most importantly, pain free because of your procedure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

-JM

WOW!! He is awesome. You know what they say the good ones don’t advertise. This is so true. I love what Dr. Schaffer has done for me. He can do the same for you. May God always bless you!

-AC

First of all, I have been sensitive about my body and wanted the normal body that others had. However, I stored weight on my belly no matter how long I spent in the gym.I was recommended by a family member to Dr. Schaffer as being one of the best Plastic Surgeons in Texas. Well I can assure you that I am beyond happy with my results, Ive gotten self confidence back and feel great! I am convinced this is a must do procedure if you qualify for it. Dr Schaffer cares about his patients and is a hands on Doctor. Through his myriad procedures he is a skilled surgeon with phenomenal skills. Thank you Dr Schaffer for making this Soldier look good and feel good.

If you need to have your silicone breasts removed and get some beautiful saline ones, see my doctor, Dr. Schaffer! My experience was wonderful. I was kept very comfortable during and after surgery. Great staff, they are very caring and kind. I still can’t believe the very mishappen and hard, painful silicone “things” are gone and now I have saline filled breasts. They feel exactly like real breasts; I couldn’t believe it! I am so happy and very grateful for the brand new me! You are truely one in a million Dr. Schaffer-an artist. Thank you so much.

-SW

Let me start by saying that just two weeks before my scheduled procedure I had met a woman who had undergone the same procedure by another doctor. By the end of my conversation with her I was questioning my decision and scared beyond belief. Dr. Schaffer and his staff quickly restored my peace of mind and confidence in the team. By the day of my surgery there was not one doubt in my mind that I had chosen the right doctor for the job. All of my questions were answered and in laymen terms, even questions I had not thought to ask. The medical facility that Dr. Schaffer used also proved to be both professional and courteous. At no point did I feel abandoned or uncared for. Everyone from the check-in nurse and Anesthesiologist to the night nurse made sure I was comfortable and that I was worry free. I knew was in good hands. No worry has been treated as a minor one. Dr. Schaffer and/or his staff have been available to answer every question and put to rest any concern before, during and after my surgery and this courtesy has continued throughout my recovery. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Schaffer to everyone I know and their friends.

-PB

I am extrememly pleased with my results and love my new set of twins.

-LD

I have only the finest word of praise for Dr. Schaffer. His professional manner was shining throughout my entire experience. From the initial meeting where he took the time to listen to my concerns and truly made me feel understood. Having two 9 pound babies and currently loosing 30 pounds had left my abdomen with excess skin and I wanted to improve it. After surgery, the follow up appointment revealed results that were nothing short of amazing!!!! Dr. Schaffer is a true artist who has made a positive change in my life and I will always be grateful for him and his awesome staff!!

-CF

I have had several breast implant issues over the past 14 years..I am only 38, so that is ALOT to deal with, consisting of 4 saline implant ruptures.. After this 4th time, my friend recommeded Dr Schaffer and after having 6 consultants with other doctors in San Antonio, I decided to go with Dr Schaffer.. He was the only doctor who tried to discover why all these problems were happening to me and he gave me his HONEST opinion on what size and implant to finally decide on.. I have been totally happy and he has always made time for me, even on his day off, because I have such a hectic schedule.. Not to mention his staff, Debbie, has been awesome and totally caring and treats me like a person/friend- not just a procedure. I will always recommend Dr Schaffer and I have never felt so comfortable in my skin as I do now.. I have a natural look and no longer have to deal with hard-sore implants that look totally fake.. Thank you Dr Schaffer and your wonderful Staff!

-LW

Words alone are insufficient in describing how grateful and honored I am to have been under the care of someone as professional and passionate about his vocation as Dr. Schaffer. As a patient who just underwent a breast reduction, I can attest that he is one of a kind. Dr. Schaffer is a physician with extraordinary talent and at the same time shows great concern for the well being his patients.

I never imagined that I could ever look so good and feel so jubilant! I thank you Dr. Schaffer from the bottom of my heart for reviving my confidence once lost!

-AB

Dr. Eric Schaffer is an extraordinary surgeon. I decided to have a tummy tuck after naturally losing 167 pounds and maintaining my weight loss nearly four years. While my weight loss was a success the excess skin was extremely unattractive. After consulting with four doctors, I knew Dr. Schaffer was the surgeon for me. During my consultation he patiently allowed me the opportunity to ask questions, his responses were thorough and honest. Dr. Schaffer is truly a gifted doctor and I would not hestitate to recommend him to anyone interested in a tummy tuck. My results exceeded my expectation and I feel and look amazing!

-SM

I was really nervous, scared, yet super excited about getting my implants. I didnt know if I would have lob sided boobs or perfect perky boobs, but luckily, I ended up with THE MOST PERFECT Boobies. I love them. They go perfect with my body. The surgery went great & Debbie was right, the recovery is nothing like what you see on tv. Yes, you are in pain, but Dr. Schaffers Assistants are always there when you need them, to answer all questions or concerns you have. And if you follow Dr.s orders, its a lot less pain. Not to mention, Dr. Schaffer is very nice & understanding. All I know, is that I made the perfect choice in choosing Dr. Schaffer & he, as well as my $ made my biggest dream COME TRUE.

-MM

Over two years ago I started receiving Botox injections in my forehead, and eye area. The lines in my forehead and around my eyes “crow’s feet” appeared to be getting deeper. Also, the frown lines between my eyes made me look angry. So, I decided to be proactive and fight the aging process! The injections in my forehead and around my eyes have helped prevent the wrinkles from forming by relaxing the muscles in those areas. Most importantly, however, is the fact that the Botox injections have helped me look more pleasant rather than angry! Furthermore, I believe that Dr. Schaffer’s technique helps my face look natural and not stiff. Also his use of the smallest needle helps the procedure be painless. Hopefully, by keeping a regular injection regimen, I can avoid surgery by staying ahead of the wrinkles!

-AS

After much deliberation at age 34 I finally decided to undergo breast augmentation to enhance my petite frame (34 A). I had always felt out of proportion but was very nervous about having any type of elective surgery but my experience at Dr. Shaffer’s office was pleasant and informative. Dr Schaffer answered all of my questions which helped me to make an informed decision on the size and shape that would best suit me as I did not want to look Too Big just in proportion to my height and body type. The office staff are also very sweet and professional and my appointments were always quick & convenient to my schedule. Overall my experience has been terrific and I am very happy with the results! My only regret is that I didn’t do this years ago!

Thank you again Dr Schaffer!

My experience with Dr. Schaffer from start to finish was very nice. Upon initial contact with his office, I found the ladies working there to be very professional and friendly. They all made me feel very comfortable when discussing details about such a private decision. Many, many, years ago I had above the muscle, silicone implants enhancement but only after one year I had them removed. This procedure involved a fairly large incision at the base of my breast. My decision to remove them was because of the early 90’s media health scare at the time. Unfortunately, when they removed them they had to also take out some of my natural breast tissue so my already small breasts were now even smaller. I barely filled a A cup and I eventually got fed up with not being able to fill a bra and/or complement an outfit. So, I started to think about getting this done and began my research. I was encouraged when looking into it from the start because I knew Saline was considered a lot safer than the Silicone and that there were newer, less invasive procedures available today. After at least a month’s worth of researching best BI surgeons in the area, over and over again, the Board Certfiied Dr. Schaffer kept coming up as the most credentialed and experienced. Article after article, he was recommended highly. In the end, I chose Dr. Schaffer confidently. I was very comfortable talking to Dr. Schaffer about my experience. He was always really nice and seemed to genuinely appreciate the result I was hoping to find with the more modern,Saline, through the armpit/under muscle procedure. When researching, I noticed the big debate between Silicone vs Saline. Primarily, the debate about which one “feels and looks” more natural. I’d like to point out that I am very happy with my choice to get Saline Implants (through the armpit under the muscle). I love my result. They are very comfortable and natural feeling. They felt that way pretty much from the first couple of weeks, but especially by post 2 months. I think they are a lot more natural feeling and looking then my Silicone result was. I have little barely noticeable scars under my armpits, that fade more and more everyday. They feel very soft and because they are placed under the muscle they don’t feel heavy like my Silicone implants did. My husband agrees with how natural they look and feel. In fact, he believes if we had met after this procedure he wouldn’t have thought they were implants. Well, I give Dr. Schaffer and his staff a A+ and a BIG THANK YOU. I would highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to anyone .

-CJ

It has been a couple years since my procedure, I’m still head over hills happy with the result. Dr Schaffer is an amazing surgeon. You will learn at your initial consultation he is incredibly passionate about what he does…he truly loves his profession it not only shows with the care & empathy he has for his patients but by his keen sense to determine the best treatment plan for his patient… Love the staff too!

I plan on having another procedure done in 2011 & Dr Schaffer is the Dr I will be calling!

Thank you Dr Schaffer you have changed my life, I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin!!

-MG

After two unsuccessful breast implant revisions, I never thought that I would be able to have soft, symmetrical and natural looking breasts again. A friend referred me to Dr. Schaffer, who performed surgery on me, and he exceeded my expectations. He is truly an artist, as well as a great plastic surgeon, who takes pride in his work.

From the very first visit, I knew that I had found a plastic surgeon who could help me achieve the results that I wanted. He is extremely confident and caring, and he spent a great deal of time with me reviewing my family history, my medical history, and my likes and dislikes about the implants that I had.

I would highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to anyone. He also has a friendly, caring and professional office staff which also means a lot to me!!

Thank you so much Dr. Schaffer & staff!!

After 10 years of thinking about and wanting my breasts enlarged I found Dr Schaffer. I had been wanting to have the procedure done for myself and no one else. I didn’t want to go huge, just proportionate. I am approx 5′5″ and 128 lbs and depending on who measured me , a 32 AA-32A. With the help of Dr Schaffer, I am 4 months out and a nice 32-34 C. It was and is still the best thing I could have ever done for myself and Dr Schaffer is definately my “Knife in Shining Armor”. Now when my husband tells me, “I think this shirt, dress..whatever, would look good on you”, I don’t say, No it wont, because the top won’t fit me right”. I now say, ” Your right it would”. And they do! Not once did Dr Schaffer try to persuade me to get a particular size or style. It was my choice and he took the time to let me choose. Never did I feel I was being rushed in or out of either the procedure or my follow ups. Office staff was wonderful as well. THANK YOU DR SCHAFFER and Staff !!!

-NG

I love the work I’ve had done with Dr. Schaffer. My results have been great. His office staff is great and aftercare has been good as well.

After 20 years, I finally got the courage to do a breast augmentation. I went to 3 different doctors. The first one was awful. I’ll call him Mr. Drive Thru. He was so quick to put sizers on me and kept telling me I needed to go bigger. I didn’t have time to take it all in and he made me feel ridiculous for thinking this was a big deal. He treated me like I was a number. My second appointment was with Dr. Schaffer. What a difference! He listened to me, ask me what I was trying to achieve, and gave me suggestions. He didn’t bother with the sizers. He said it would come later and he would recommend a size that would fit my proportions. My third appointment was awful again. I’ll call him Dr. 90210. Everyone in his office looked like Barbies and I felt so insecure. He literally spent about 7 minutes with me. He acted as if he could not be bothered. It was a horrible experience. Needless to say, Dr. Schaffer was my choice.

After another year of putting it off, I finally moved forward. Dr. Schaffer said I was a lift candidate, but I was borderline. I personally thought I needed one and paid for both the breast aug and lift. The morning of the operation, Dr. Schaffer told me that he could not guarantee me the lift. It would depend on how things looked after the implants. This really made me feel good. Any other Doctor might have taken advantage, especially since I had already paid. It was great to get beautiful results along with a big refund.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Schaffer and his staff. Debbie keeps the front office running smoothly and they make quite a team. I absolutely love my results and I’m having a blast trying on bras and shirts. I always thought this would be something I only dreamed about.

Thank you, Dr. Schaffer, for making my dream a reality. If I had only visited the other 2, I can tell you I wouldn’t have had it done.

-NW

Dr. Schaffer performed breast augmentation almost a year ago and couldn’t be happier! I decided to have breast augmentation because i had always been self-conscious about the way I looked in shirts, swimsuits, and without clothes. All in all I personally wasn’t comfortable in my own skin. I tried masking the problem by using padded bras, but those were uncomfortable and I was still self conscious when I took them off. After being unhappy for years, I decided that I was going to do something for myself. When I decided to have the procedure, I spent months interviewing plastic surgeons. After each visit, I would come home and my husband would say “how did it go.” I would tell him… “Eh, it was okay.” I actually started to get a little concerned that I wasn’t making the right decision. None of the doctors took the time to sit down and talk with me. When I met with Dr. Schaffer he put me at ease, explained everything, went over my medical history to be sure I was a good candidate, and provided a good amount of information to help me make the right decision. I only wish I had come to see him first!

Before and after the procedure, Dr. Schaffer and his staff were friendly, very accommodating to my busy schedule, and completely put me at ease. Yes, I was nervous to be going into surgery but I knew that I was in the best of hands!! I knew I had made a good decision. Now, almost a year later… My breasts are beautiful, clothes fit the way they should, and the most important thing… I am confident and comfortable in my own skin. Only wish I had done this years ago! Thank you so much Dr. Schaffer and your staff. You are wonderful!

I have always been a little uncomfortable with the size and shape of my earlobes so after much consideration, I decided I would fix them. After doing my research I found that Dr. Schaffer was the plastic surgeon for me. I contacted Dr. Schaffer’s office to set up a consultation and was very pleased by the helpful response of Dr. Schaffer’s receptionist. They were a really nice bunch. Overall it was a great experience. I couldn’t be happier with my ears and I feel comfortable with myself now. Thank you Dr. Schaffer.

After extensive research and several breast augmentation consultations, I felt that Dr. Schaffer was the only Dr I trusted to perform my surgery. I chose Dr. Schaffer because aside from his amazing credentials he takes great pride in ALL of his work. What sets him apart from other doctors is the fact that he is extremely personable, approchable and genuine!

He truly cares about the satisfaction and safety of his patients. Dr. Schaffer, you are amazing!! I am very happy with my new girls, All of my friends love my new look and when my husband returns from deplyment I’m sure he will too. Thank you so much!!

After a long time of waiting my husband and I finally decided that it was a good time for me to have a breast augmentation, something that I had been wanting for many years. I looked into three different doctors and my husband and I both agreed on Dr. Schaffer. Due to a crazy work schedule I needed to have my operation quick. I spoke with the staff at the office and they did everything in their power to see me as quickly as possible. My surgery and recovery were almost pain free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and results. I will refer anyone looking for any procedures to Dr. Schaffer. He and his office are very friendly and professional!

The dramatic breast reduction I underwent a mere 8months ago has changed my life. Not only am I pain free for the first time in many, many years but I am now confident in my appearance and capable of more physical acitivity. My self-esteem has risen and I no longer hide behind baggy clothes. Dr. Schaffer was kind, patient and professional throughout. His attention to detail and follow-through put me at ease. I never took a single pain pill and my reduction took me from an “I” bra size to a “D”. He knew exactly how much to remove to give me a balanced attractive appearance. If you are even thinking about a reduction-don’t put it off- I wish I had not waited so long. And you will not find a better doctor than Schaffer!

All I need to say is Thank you Thank you Thank you for what Dr Scahffer did for me. he made my self esteem come back and I love my tummy now! Thank you to his wonderful staff for being so helpful and fantastic. This is a doctor that knows what he is doing.

Thank you Dr Schaffer and Staff for being so wonderful. After having 2 CSections my tummy was never the same again, and that just made my self esteem very low. I thought about it for years but finally with the help of Dr Schaffer and his wonderful staff I decided to have this procedure done and it was a great decision. 3 months Post Op and I am feeling 100% better about myself. I am so happy that I decided on Dr Schaffer. I have seen friends with tummy tucks from OTHERdoctors and nothing compared to what Dr Schaffers work is. They all are amazed how wonderful I look and how beatiful the work is that they too want to see about having their mistakes from their doctors corrected by Dr Schaffer. I am so grateful to Dr Schaffer and his fantastic staff for being there for me and my family. I encourage anyone who is wanting to have this or any surgery to choose Dr Schaffer, you will never regret it. I know I never will!!!
