Dr. Starleen C Schaffer, MD

Recently moved to Vero Beach and this office was recommended. I've been seen by Nurse Practitioner Michelle Williams and I feel like I'm in better hands than ever! She ordered the right tests and changed my meds to put me on a path to being healthy again. My former Dr. was on cruise control, but now I'm so glad to feel like I'm receiving excellent care from someone who is actively looking out for me! This is how healthcare is supposed to work. Oh, and the staff are friendly and very competent as well. Great people make this a great office - I highly recommend!

Just moved to area and found this office accepting new patients. Able to get in for first visit pretty quickly. Office staff were friendly and helpful and NP Ann Marie was so pleasant and thorough. Extremely satisfied with the whole experience and thankful for such an easy and smooth transition.

Doc schaffer and her assistants have been keeping me & my family healthy for many years They listens cares and approaches your health care with a positive up to date attitude they don’t give up Especially Ann Marie & Monica Office staff are ALWAYS professional friendly and extremely helpful Scheduling is easy & flexible Facility is CLEAN modern & tastefully decorated with easy Access and great shady parking spots

My wife and I went for the first time last week for checkups and we were extremely happy with the services provided. Dr. Schafer answered all of our questions and the appointment did not feel rushed at all. The staff was friendly and helpful when I asked questions.

Dr. Schaffer and her CNP Anne Marie are both thorough and personable. I would highly recommend her practice for all your family’s health care needs.

Seen by Anne-Marie the nurse practitioner she was great, made me feel very comfortable it’s hard to find a provider you like and I definitely will be continuing going there. Great staff too.

Never met the doctor except on video chat. She had me go get new bloodwork for a cat scan because the bloodwork had to be fresh. 2 weeks later i called the office to see when i was to have my scan. The girl found my bloodwork n said she'd put it on her desk. 3 weeks later i called n the girl said my bloodwork was fine. I had to explain to her 3 times that i need to know when to get my scan. On hold 15 minutes later she informed me that the order was sent to the hospital may 26th. No one called me to let me know. Two days later recieved a letter saying that the doctor nolonger was taking cigna n that because WE didn't follow doctors orders they no longer wanted to see us. Wow. Staff very unprofessional, rude, and down right don"t have a clue what their doing. Never got to meet the doctor so no coment on her. On to the next doctor. Such a shame this staff sucks.

Truly a health care professional

I had an emergency and her office got me in at the end of the day. Treated me like I was their first patient. Dr Schaffer came in pleasant as ever. So grateful for her!!!

She LISTENS. She actually discusses things with you, and will listen to your thoughts and ideas regarding treatment for your self sprinkled with her expertise and knowledge to help you better. Excellent physician!

Dr. Schaffer has always been able to get to the bottom of my health problems. I have had no issues with staff; they seem respectful and competent from what I can See. Jane Lansky

The Doctor always addresses my care with compassion. Her office staff appears to be competent and always pleasant.

I have been going to this office for years now but I am ready to move on. Every time the office staff answers the phone you're immediately put on hold for a minimum of 15 minutes, usually longer. They do not return calls if you leave a message. Also someone from the front desk was extremely rude to me when I called regarding my bloodwork slip that they were supposed to fax and never did. I have no issue with Dr. Schaffer, but I am going elsewhere due to the incompetence of her office staff. Honestly it is the worst doctor's office staff I've ever encountered.

I found her to be the most inept doctor I have ever seen and would never recommend her to anyone.

Doc I Do need your help. I can't do it myself. I really need to listen more and shut up! You're the best doctor I've ever had . I'm my worst enemy. As you know. What ever you say goes.

I have been a patient for 3 years. I literally trusted her with my life; her inkling was that I had a rare form of cancer; she turned out to have the right diagnoses, unfortunately for me. All the specialist, and most the tests were wrong. I am thrilled that Dr. Schaffer discovered this, it saved my life. The office as a whole appears professional and competent. I have seen and experienced staff interaction with the patient and they are a very friendly and welcoming group. Shelly

Takes the time to actually examine you and listen to you. Very professional office too.

Outstanding care, never rushed, listens to her patient, and incorporates patients ideas and lifestyle into their care. Very comfortable environment.... Long time patient.

Great Doctor listens to you a nd talks in easy to understand way. very congenial.

Doctor Star is the best! I've never met a Doctor that has so much knowledge, and knows how to apply correctly to tricky cases such as mine. In addition she is very respectful and compassionate.
