    After having women doctors for 33+ years I was apprehensive but he was the onlydoctor who was in my area. The prior doctor in this practice had ordered a bunch of tests and quit before I got any results!! My husband was suffering from cancer and kidney disease and had the same issue with that Dr. I never want to change from Dr. Dan Schaffner
