Introducing our newest doctor, Buffy, the heart of our office! Buffy is our 1 and half year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier (aka Pittie). She makes an unforgettable impact on everyone who walks through our doors. She’s more than just the office dog, she’s an important part of our team. From greeting patients with gentle tail wags to sitting quietly by our side during a busy day, Buffy has a natural way of making people feel at ease.

Buffy is also proudly certified through the AKC Canine Partners Program and holds her Canine Good Citizen title, a reflection of her sweet personality and gentle nature. Whether she's curled up in Dr. Shafer's office or making her rounds through the office, she brings so much love to the office. Buffy is our employee of the month every month!

If you're ever uncomfortable around dogs, no worries at all just let us know and we’ll make sure Buffy stays in Dr. Shafer’s office during your visit!

5 years of Devin. Watching this boy grow has been the single greatest joy in my life. Morgan and I love this child so much. He is growing into such a caring, funny, witty, and thoughtful child. He loves sports, swimming, camp, hanging out with friends, big kids, learning to read, and snuggling with mommy and daddy. I can’t wait to see how he thrives this year in kindergarten!!
