I felt extrememly grateful to be listened to and have my condition explained so clearly by Dr Shaffer. It was helpful in terms of alleviating my anxieties and also gave me a great deal of hope that it was possible to access radiotherapy to prevent the escalation of the problem.

I have seen Dr Shaffer a couple of times for dupytrens and Ledderhose. He is always caring and interested in what you have to say. Treatment is always explained in full and the finally choice of course is yours.
I would and have advised others to seek his help, and have done so including my husband!

I just had a great Zoom consultation with Dr Shaffer. I was wary at first, that such a consultation could happen virtually, but I was pleasantly surprised. He was patient, clear and concerned, and walked me through some simple Q&A and exercises to arrive at his considered opinion. Really great. Thank you.
