This is Your Sign to Go with Dr.Schaffer

10 years ago I had a surgery. The surgeon had about a 1 minute consultation with me. They took my payment and scheduled my surgery. At 20 years old, I had no idea my options, risks, or That me wanting huge implants could really affect my body later. I literally cringe thinking about all the things the previous doctor never explained to me and the questions I didn’t even know to ask. All I knew was he was supposed to be the best and he would tell me, right?! No. That didn’t happen. Fast forward 10 years and I start having all these complications and pain. I went back to see the same surgeon. I might have gotten an extra minute with this consult but not enough for what I was experiencing. He acted like it wasn’t a big deal. Walking out the door he said “oh your still healthy right?” And gave me a quote for surgery to fix what he should have never even done 10 years earlier. He came in and was gone before I could even ask questions. He never even told me any additional information on recovery for the repair that would have to be done. Being 10 years older with 2 kids, I’ve learned a lot when it comes to quick consults and feeling like you’re getting the cold shoulder. I felt rushed and I knew I was at the wrong place. I ended up scheduling a second opinion with Dr. Schaffer. He literally did a 30+ minute consultation. He explained what was happening and why, the risk, recovery and expectations. I had to have a pretty extensive amount of muscle repair done (due to having my first implants being way too massive for my body). It was never explained by the first doctor that I wouldn’t even be able to put my arms by my side or eventually they would end up falling in my armpits every time I laid down. So with Dr. Schaffer I got to ask the questions, and didn’t feel rushed. He gave me options and solutions. Dr. Schaffer has done surgeries on people that mean the most to me and they have all been happy as well. He and his staff have been incredible. They care, He cares, and it shows. He has exceed my expectations of what I thought I could ever look like. This has been an emotional experience for me on so many levels and he nor his staff ever made me feel crazy or like was being dramatic. If nothing else see him for a consult and see for yourself how great they are! My journey isn’t over with my recovery but there isn’t another practice I feel like would be as supportive and caring as they are and have been!
