Hayden L. Shafer MD

Dr. Shafer is the BEST DOCTOR EVER!!! He is kind, compassionate, and he truly cares about me as a person. I am so grateful to have him as my doctor. I could not be more thankful.

I'm so grateful to have Dr.Shafer as my PCPyou know, a personable and compassionate doctor is everything to a patient and this Doctor certainly doesn't fall short on either of those two qualities. Good bedside manner, I'm sure, can be challenging at times for any Dr. So, good job VU for making a great choice for your team!

I've had good doctors and not so good doctors. Five stars for entire experience

Excellent

The good about Dr. Shafer is that he let me speak without interruptions and he listened to me. Unfortunately, he didn't provide any possible solutions of how I could avoid my hospitalization again except refer me to my psychiatric outpatient clinic (Centerstone) for services. It would be nice how my condition could have been handled from a pcp point of view. It's so important to integrate and not distance the psychiatric issues from regular health concerns. Two go hand in hand. It felt like he let me express what I thought happened, but no remedy or possible preventative solution was offered. But like I said before, being listened to is also important.

I absolutely love Dr. Shafer. They have genuine care and concern about my well being. They are the reason I continue my primary care with Vanderbilt. They understand gender issues and transgender concerns, and honestly, this is why I chose Vanderbilt.

Dr. Shafer is the best doctor I have ever had.

Everyone was very kind and attentive

Dr Hayden Shafer is the best of the best.
