Referring Physician

This section of the website is intended SOLELY for the use of referring physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to facilitate communication about patients.  Patients using the contact information listed below will either not get a response, or they will be directed to our general contact information listed under the icon “Contact Us” on the home page.  We do not answer any questions from patients related to patient care via the internet.

As detailed in our statement under “Our Philosophy” elsewhere in this website, we are happy to see any child, irrespective of funding status.  We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Referring providers are free to contact Dr. Schaeffer at any time.  We are happy to give general advice or provide insights into a clinical issue, but for liability reasons we may need to see the patient if the issue concerns a specific patient, or if you intend to document the details of our conversation in your patient’s chart.
