Dr. Shaffer is amazing. She listens to our concerns and has given us great advice. We really appreciate her going above and beyond to give us alternatives to baby diaper creams and going through the list of doctors referred for her tongue tie. She really goes the extra mile and cares about our daughter. We are also grateful for her quick replies on my chart whenever we have questions.
