Kristina Shaffer MD

During my consultation, I did not feel that my concerns, preferences, or values were fully heard or respected. The discussion strongly favored lumpectomy, and mastectomy was not explored in a balanced or collaborative way. I also felt that my support person was dismissed, which undermined shared decision-making.Additionally, information about cosmetic outcomes after mastectomy and reconstruction was presented in a way that felt insensitive and not patient-centered. Examples involving public comparisons and comments about clothing and swimwear felt uncomfortable and did not support an emotionally safe discussion. While I value honest and realistic information, I would have benefited from a more compassionate, respectful, and collaborative approach, especially as someone newly diagnosed and facing major surgical decisions.

Kristina Shaffer is just the best!!!!

Dr. Kristina Shaffer is the most amazing doctor I have ever had in my entire life.She is very professional and knowledgeable. She takes time to explain my diagnosis and finds out my treatment expectations then gives her suggestions. Dr. Shaffer Is incredibly thorough and even took the time to call me one evening to discuss some tests I had that day. She is amazing and I feel so happy and blessed to have her as my doctor.

Dr Shaffer was very professional, informative, respectful and kind.

The entire visit with Dr. Shaffer was excellent. She took the time to explain everything even more than once answering all my questions. She reached out with test results quicker than I would have ever anticipated. I could not have asked for anything more. Her nurse was also excellent.

She is amazing. Thankful that I came to her for a second opinion. She is thorough and explained my next steps. She definitely included me in the decision process. Already recommended her to my daughter who was with me and will refer anyone else that needs a great surgeon!

Doctor Schaffer is the BEST; patient, kind, extremely qualified. I was nervous before the visit, and she set my mind at ease. She patiently explained all medical issues in laymen's terms, and answered all of my wife's and my many questions. I left smiling, knowing I was in good hands.

Dr Shaffer explained my diagnosis very well and with a bit of humor. She is very knowledgeable and explained her plan.

Explanation of all queries options was clear and thorough.
