What Our Patients Say About Us
Peter Hesketh2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Shaffer was just wonderful - a lovely guy. I booked to see him about a lump in my left palm as I suspected Dupuytren … he gave me a thorough exam and explained the nature of Dupuytren and potential treatment options… he advised no treatment for now and to just monitor things - he could have easily advised some expensive treatment and I would have eagerly agreed… I think that says a lot about his integrity. Highly recommended. Nid Clouting2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smooth operation.. every one very supportive and knowledgeable.

Very thorough and helpful. Thank you. Denise Mitchell2025-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lovely, friendly, efficient hospital. My appointment was on time. Dr Shaffer was welcoming and kind and thoroughly detailed his findings and the approach to my treatment. My schedule for the treatment was limited so every effort was made to accommodate me within my timeframe. The only surprise for me was the lack of parking at the hospital, so if you're taking your car it would be a good idea to research parking facilities within the area before your appointment.
