List of James A Schafer's Reviews
Dr. Schafer was the kindest and most helpful doctor I have ever encountered. I would recommend him to anyone!
Reviewed On Google
Dr. Schafer was unwilling to spend time with us or answer our questions. He was condescending and did not seem remotely interested in our concerns. I would not recommend him to anyone who wants to feel heard or comfortable with their medical care.

Dr. Schafer was not willing to spend time with us or answer our questions. The patient is not good in English and the doctor refused my translation duty. I have done translation for the Chinese communities for over 20 years and no doctor has ever rejected me. He got a hold with a 3rd party translator and was questioning her medical knowledge. It seems like he dislikes the Chinese. I tried to tell him to redo EKG because the patient has a lung issue and was having trouble breathing while testing (long walk to the office and wearing a mask). He refused and told us to go to emergency room due to high heart rate. We refused and went home to check the heart rate. His heart rate was perfectly fine. Went back to the office 2 days later to redo EKG and his heart rate was fine. We requested and changed doctor. I would not recommend him to anyone who wants to feel heard or comfortable with their medical care.

I had a heart attack and was in Sparrow Hospital. When Dr. Schafer came in he explained everything to me , was never in a rush and ask how I felt about my treatment. I was scared but after speaking with him I felt safe. I also believe he is as smart as can be. Just a very kind person.

Dr. Schafer is a great doctor. He listens to you and really cares about your health. I would recommend him anytime.

Actually makes eye contact, not staring at the computer screen through the visit. Thorough explanations. Answers questions . Does not seem ready to rush to the next patient. Not particularly warm and fuzzy, but likeable and worthy of trust.

Terrible! Does not listen to patients. Over prescribes meds. I would not recommend this doctor!

Deeply committed and caring, Dr. Shafer was instrumental in saving my life. He continued to visit and inquire about me after I was no longer his patient. I will be forever grateful not only for his skill but for his kindness and concern for me and my family.

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
