Heidi M. Schaefer

The best doctor you could ever meet, & have the pleasure to have as your physician. Listens, is highly intelligent & skilled, caring & kind. No negative thoughts about her are possible. A blessing to medicine and to her patients.

She is an amazing doctor I drive 3 hours one way to see her and her amazing team at Vanderbilt. 5 years post SKP transplant and going strong

Dr Schaefer has been the best doctor I've had got my transplant at Vandy just over a year ago and it's been so great to have her by myside though out this process. She is kind and super attentive to my needs.. She has really spoiled me:)

I am a kidney transplant patient for 22 years, I moved to TN back in 2007 and I have been seeing her for 10 years and I have no regrets, she listens to you and the staff always very courteous and friendly.

I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic at age 7. 22 years later I was told by a doctor in Huntsville my kidney function was 10% after 8 months of dialysis I was ready to receive my second chance at life. My doctor first was Dr. Puck Jittarat but she ended up moving to Hawaii so before she left she transferred me over to Dr. Schaefer. I had seen her a few times and was nervous about changing doctors but she was so much like Puck and every visit is great she is an amazing doctor and person

Great dr absolutely highly recommend this doctor so compassionate too.

Dr. Schaefer has monitored my health as a post-transplant patient for over eight years now. She is an excellent doctor -- kind and compassionate, patient, up-to-date on treatment options. She listens with great heart and a wonderful sense of humor. I haven't had a single rejection episode in eight years. I'm very happy to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone needing kidney health treatment.

Dr. Schaefer was my doctor for about 7 years. I have had my fair share of doctors, having had kidney trouble since birth, and she is the best EVER. If only we still lived close.

Dr schaefer is a very, very, sweet doctor, and has super side manner too. She has a lot of interest in the patients.

Excellent doctor, very compassionate to patients. Would recommend her to anyone.
