Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dale Schaefer
Nothing specific. Just the same excellent care and treatment I have come to expect from Dale. I have been a patient for 10 plus years. He has made sure that I, as a melanoma vulnerable patient, have been timely treated. This includes managing two surgeries to remove cancerous growths. I trust Dale completely. So much so, that I still drive nearly 100 miles one-way to see him. He's the only Austin-based doctor I continue to see.

The best dermatologist in Central Texas
Dr. Schaefer has been providing exceptional treatment of my dermatology needs for over 25 years. Wonderful bedside manner, my wife and I have never feel rushed during our appointments; he takes the time to listen and conduct thorough examinations. He has consistently demonstrated why he is so deserving of recognition of Super Doc! His staff is also exceptional and deserving of recognition.

Great Experience!
Great staff, and Dr. Schaefer is awesome. He takes his time with you, lets you discuss multiple areas of concern at one visit, which seems unheard of these days, is very knowledgeable and gives you options for treatment. His bedside manner is perfect... very nice man!
