What Our Patients Say About Us
Posted on Guy StricklandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received radiotherapy treatment for Dupuytrens Contracture on my right hand which ended in March 2023. I’m happy to say that the progression of Dupuytrens has ceased in my right hand and no more nodules or contractures have appeared. Dr Shaffer and his team were very helpful and professional throughout and I would recommend their services gladly.Posted on David NortonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Dr Shaffer who suggested radiotherapy treatment for my numerous dupuytrens in both hands. I was struggling to open a bottle, change gear in the car and many other basic functions. Now my hands are absolutely fine and I couldn't have asked for a better result. Thank you so very much.Posted on Chris WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had radiation on a nodule on my hand at a different centre in 2018. I booked in to see Dr Shaffer as more nodules have since appeared. Dr Shaffer was very knowledgeable and explained everything about the disease progression. He detailed the treatment available to me and also how to track any changes in my other hand. I felt fully informed and confident in proceeding with his recommendation. I would certainly recommend Dr Shaffer due to his level of expertise with this disease.Posted on Jacquie DuckworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very quick efficient and professional service and a reassuring manner that gives me confidence in the process and outcomes.Posted on Beth DriverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had treatment on my left hand a year ago by Dr Shaffer and his team. All good so far and the nodules do feel much softer. Unfortunately it has now started in my right hand but I’m hopeful the treatment will work as well on this hand. Dr Shaffer is really warm and personable. He really does help to put your mind at rest. His team are very friendly and kind too. Would highly recommend.Posted on Geoffrey HollisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
