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. Shaefer is a wonderful Dr. and a wonderful person. I love her. I had a kidney transplant over five years ago.

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.

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

I have experienced my share of nephrologists in the 18 years that I have been dealing with kidney issues, and Dr. Heidi Schaefer is above and beyond the others. I drive more than 8 hours one way just to see her, and I know of other patients who fly in from the coast in order to continue to be in her care.

I received my transplant 15 months ago and the treatment and care that I receive from Dr. Schaefer is the best I have ever received. Her attentiveness to the obstacles I have encountered, as well as my treatment has been a Godsend. I would recommend her at the highest level.

Generally the staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. Dr. Schaefer always takes time plenty of time with me and follows up when needed. Often, she will personally contact me instead of having a nurse contact me. She is interested in more than her patients' illnesses; she is interested in the patient him/herself.

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

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.
