A Doctor's Doctor! Nobody has his experience and he's a nice guy! Hen I talked to former patients and his staff (he had done setting on all of them) I knew I was in the right place!!! No regrets

Please don't make the same mistake we did going to this doctor and had a procedure done. Based on our experience, this doctor does not have any clue about aesthetic human body. When we asked him what went wrong, he just ignore us and had his assistant sees us during post op. It was such a bad experience that caused a lot pain and set back. We regret that we believed him during our consultation. Please research your surgeons.

Dr Schafer and his staff have been amazing. I had lipo done on my upper and lower abs and love handles. Minimum downtime, very light bruising on my sides. I'm in the 3rd week after the procedure and I love the results. Dr Schafer and his staff have always returned my calls and emails, answered all my questions, and really expressed concern for my recovery that has been very comforting through this experience. I highly recommend this facility.

I saw an infocommercial and looked into LaserSculpt. Dr. Schafer was the suggested doctor in my area. This procedure is way better than liposuction. I didn't feel or remember anything from surgrey, I was up and around the very next day and back to work in 4 days. I had my entire upper body done and I am so thrilled with my results. I am not overweight but could not get rid of that last 10 pounds. My weight didn't change much but my stomach is flat and my muffin top and back fat are gone. Results do vary though. I sent a co-worker and my result is much better than hers but she had a lot more fat. I would certainly recommend.

Please be very careful of this Doctor and his practice. He is on probation with the California Medical board. You can find the report on-line. He is a dishonest quack. I had 2 Smart-Lipo procedures with this Doctor. I am lumpy and uneven. He won't even admit he made a mistake. I had 2 other doctors look at his work and they were shocked at what they saw. I feel so stupid and hurt that I let him do surgery on me, not once but twice. Please if you care about yourself and your body don't let this man touch you.

I had this doctor do my procedure (Smartlipo) in February and I am very pleased with my results. The leaking was awful but my saddlebags are gone. The recovery was quick and it didn't hurt much. I haven't had any problems and didn't need to see the doctor except the day after surgery. I don't think his poor rating is justified. J.S.

THIS DOCTOR RUINED MY LIFE UNTIL I SOUGHT AFTER A REVISION RHINOPLASTY A YEAR LATER. I, too, believe he had his staff insert an unsized, too big, implant in my nose that turned out really crooked to the left side. My fault for seeking him to do my rhino, but I should be able to trust a doctor mosre than this. I showed my conerns to him and he tried to write it off by saying my nose was croooked to begin with. He then tried to twist my implant back into place, which hurt so bad I never went back to him post-op. He is also a very bad character, I had a bad feeling once I met him but didnt go with my instincts. Please people, research well and go with youe instincts! His staff was ridiculous, I had one female nurse look me up and down, and the consultant Toni is very fake. She is very kind to you, only to never speak or look at you again after surgery and taking your money. They also manipulated me into getting the surgeries, talking and consoling me that everything will turn out fi

Did not answer questions or emails post-operatively, was not interested in post-operative management. Would not recommend to anyone.
