I Love the vibe here it’s so so comfortable, I Love the girls who work there and dr . Shafer so so much ! Jenn is amazing she should get a raise she was so nice , I have trauma from doctors in the past and I had previous issues with last doctor ( not his fault ) but she literally made me feel so comfortable I never felt anything like that ! Everyone was just so nice and warm and The dr was so honest I’m so happy Because he cares about his clients I wanted to do something and he told me his honesty bc I’m rlly young he said no to one thing , as of right now I didn’t go thru but I highly recommend to go to him if ur like 20 or something for bigger procedures if I could I would ! ✨ Thank you so much !

Everyone at Shafer Clinic, from my provider (Alison) all the way to the front desk, exceeded my expectations and helped save a really important birthday weekend for me. I had bruising from another cosmetic procedure and was turned away from various places - Alison and team were able to get me scheduled the next day, actually inspect the bruising up-close and accurately diagnose any risks (there were none/minimal), and then treated my bruising with VBeam. Almost 24 hours later, everything is significantly better (and right in time too). Thank you again Shafer Clinic and I will be back soon! Highly recommend!

My experience at the Shafer Clinic with Edyta's facial was absolutely phenomenal! From the warm welcome to the expert care, every moment was delightful. Edyta's skill and personalized approach left my skin glowing and rejuvenated. I left feeling pampered and educated about proper skincare. Highly recommend!

Another stellar experience at The Shafer Clinic. The facial with Edyta was another level and laser treatment with Jane is truly so perfect. Amy, Robin and the entire staff as well as Dr. Shafer and Jamie at Advitam define aesthetic medical care at the level above and beyond what one should expect in NYC. They are the perfect symbiosis of excellent client care and medical excellence.

Dr. Shafer is a highly skilled plastic surgeon who is truly an expert in his field. He is also a perfectionist, which leads to spectacular results! His office staff/nurses are simply the most dedicated and caring group of individuals. Amy, Luc and Jane (just to mention a few), made me feel beyond comfortable at each appointment and have been there for me every step of the way no matter what time or day. I could not be happier with my results! Dr. Shafer gave me my life back and I am forever grateful to the entire Shafer Clinic Team for literally holding my hand througout the entire process. I would not recommend anyone else, but Dr. Shafer. He is simply the best!
