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.

Amazing care, knowledge and bedside manner!
Dr. Sheffer is simply the best: his kindness, his incredible knowledge and his ability to make things understandable, and the time he takes to listen are top notch. I went in with so many questions, and left knowing all my concerns were heard and answered. He was so gentle with my broken foot, too! Dr. Sheffer, Parker, the front office team and the X-ray and boot fitting folks were all great! I highly recommend JoCo Orthopedics, and Dr. Sheffer in particular.

Confidence-building visit
As a nurse, I think that many of us have high expectations for our health care providers. I needed to find an ortho group nearer our home. I appreciated Dr. Sheffer's gracious demeanor and how well he explained conservative care for my fracture. It was humbling to learn there were some things I needed to learn to live in a cam boot. I am impressed with his skills, trust his recommendations and hope I am nearly as sharp as I approach being older. Thank you!

Excellent Appointment In all Respects.
The appointment was on time and all staff members that helped me were professional and courteous. Dr. Sheffer explained everything in language that was easily understood. He also called Dr. Lynch in for a second opinion. All aspects of this visit were professional and informative.

Angle on the office
I’m a patient of Dr. Keith Sheffer and he treated my knees years ago. Today, I went in to see him for my feet. God bless this doctor, he gave me hope and great advices for my feet. I went to see him with so much pain. After, his consultation and recommendation, he prescribed the devices for my problems. I went home with less pain and happy walking out to my car. Thank you Dr. Shaffer and his awesome staff.

Aside from having no compassion for his clients. He's brief blunt and uninformative with visits that leave you in the room for excess of an hour and interactions feeling like he's ready to leave the room ASAP. And he does. His all gold suits glasses and shoes and should have been the first warning sign. There were a few major factors that as a former orthopedic surgeon should have never been ignored that were completely ignored. My personal major one is I have been clear and descriptive since 3/4/21 about a limited mobility of my leg. At which point 0 information was provided to inform me that I would never be qualified for surgery of my ACL due to my limited mobility. Calling for an urgent need for intensive month long of physical therapy before I could be put on a waiting list for surgery. Delayed me being put on a waiting list for therapy over a month. Add that to the fact that he no longer operates and did nothing but read my MRI results and leave me hanging. 0 further anything.
