I was very nervous about seeking Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy, but Dr. Shaffer immediately put me at ease. She listened to my backstory, expectations, and goals. She then spent a good 30 minutes formulating a treatment plan, as well as informing me about the process and answering my questions. My visit with Dr. Shaffer was the most rewarding of any I have ever had with a medical provider. I feel she genuinely cares about her patients, takes time to listen, and employs contemporary thinking. My only regret in this process is that I did not find Dr. Shaffer sooner.
