Dr. Shaffer recently used the Mohs Procedure to remove skin cancer on my cheek. He explained the procedure thoroughly, was able to remove all cancer and sutured the site expertly. Throughout the entire procedure he described what he was doing, was attentive to my concerns and explained the healing process completely. Hie professional demeanor was warm, courteous and attentive to me as his patient. Together with his Medical Assistant, Jason, I was totally apprised of the entire procedure, my post-op care and ultimate results. I could not have been in better hands. I would want Dr. Shaffer again for any dermatology procedure and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants excellent care.

Dr. Shaffer is the best!! I've had several Mohs surgeries performed by him. He has always, always had the most calming affect on me in what could be a scary situation!! His surgical abilities are amazing!! No one can tell how many procedures have been done on my body - especially my face!! No other surgeon will ever do!!

Excellent! My neighbor suggested Dr Schaffer after I told her what a local dermatologist had planned for the squamous on my face. I was scared. Texted picture to Dr Schaffer, met within a week and was treated (Mohs) and I cannot believe the result. Fantastic! Barely noticeable. Thank you! You are the best!

Dr Shaffer performed Mohs surgery on my leg. He was able to excise the skin cancer and made sure there would be no scar.
He was very warm and friendly and explained everything he was going to do. I would recommend him to friends and family and have already done so.
Thank you Dr Shaffer!!

Dr. Shaffer was knowledgeable, efficient, and performed a Mohs surgery without complication. I highly recommend his services. He's also a very interesting person! Where else will you find such eclectic interests as "fitness, opera, and comic book collecting"? Now that's diversity!!

Dr. Shaffer has performed three Mohs surgery on my face. He is an excellent doctor and very skilled surgeon! He explains the procedure and immediately puts you at ease. I didn’t experience pain and my incisions healed quickly.
I referred a family member and they also received wonderful care.

Dr. Shaffer made the entire dermatology surgery experience a lot easier for me. He was friendly, and he took the time required to explain clearly what he intended to do and to answer my questions. I started my dermatology experience at another practice, but I was referred to Dr. Shaffer for Mohs surgery. I'm sticking with Dermatology Consultants after this positive experience.

Amazing! The only doctor I would trust with any sort of skin procedure. I've had minimal scarring from both sets of stitches I've had. Wonderful!

I have had 3 procedures done by Dr. Shaffer. I would not go anywhere else. He and his assistants always make you feel at ease and explain everything. If you have questions they welcome them and answer them in a way a person can understand.
