Elizabeth Schafer, PA-C
Hematology/Oncology Physician Assistant
My specialties:
- Cancer (medical oncology)
- Hematology
Professional interests:
- Hematologic disorders
- leukemia
- Lymphoma
Practice philosophy: Deeply committed to forming strong working relationships with patients and their family/friends. I strive to know each patient an individual, care deeply about what they care about and to everything I can to make the treatment they are going through more manageable physically, but also socially and emotionally. Believe strongly in educating patients about their disease so they can be their best advocate, but also understand their priorities and present them to the medical team.
What are you passionate about and why? Going through chemotherapy/treatment is hard, I want to do everything that I can to make even the hardest moments easier.
