"let's accept the fact that there are some hospital systems and some doctors that do get better outcomes than others."

Dr. Shaeffer is proud to announce that he is now a member of the Surgery Plus Surgeons of Excellence Plan, a national network of high quality and low cost surgical specialists.
Large multi-national corporations, government municipalities, and school districts that contract with Surgery Plus are bypassing local doctors and hospitals and instead being sent to Pagosa Medical Group and Animas Surgical Hospital for their surgical care.
Patients who are traveling to Pagosa Medical Group from around the Southwest are realizing the benefit of personalized, streamlined, high quality, and low cost surgical care provided by Dr. Shaeffer and his team.
High quality colonoscopies and upper endoscopies are being performed by Dr. Shaeffer at Pagosa Medical Group at fractions of the prices being charged at other facilities.
Through a partnership with Animas Surgical Hospital, patients from around the Four Corners are also traveling to Durango to have General Surgical procedures with Dr. Shaeffer such as gallbladder removals and hernia repairs.
Many of the top employers in the country have now acknowledged this fact: Sending patients across state lines to access the best doctors who are leading the industry with innovative pricing strategies keeps health insurance premiums affordable for all.
