Schaefer Dale G MD

It was very clear that after only being offerred a 2 month appointment by my dermatologist of 14 years, it was time to start looking. Dr. Schaefer and associates are, as far as I know, top-​rated and board certified. I made an appointment that day with the PA, and as I knew should happen, she grabbed Dr. S. to confirm her diagnosis. She also offered to treat some other problems I wasn’t really there for, and directed me with prescription to where I could get an antibiotic free – still getting it 6 months later! How is that for great service!!! I ended up across the hall at Devonair, the aesthetic (non-​insurance) part of the practice, and have been very satisfied there as well. Very convenient location just off Mopac North.
As I work in the medical field, a put-​off of 2 months is not acceptable for a dermatologist who takes about 30 seconds to look at something, no matter how great he is, when you have been with him 14 years.
Also, I know PAs grab MDs all the time to confirm diagnoses and treatment plans and their PA is one of the best I’ve seen.

Respectful, good energy, knows his stuff, listens to you. There is always a long wait though. But everyone seems to think that it is worth it. And it is.

I have reservations about whether anybody should rely on online reviews of doctors, including mine.
However, I will say that both my own experience and others’ opinions lead me to the view that he is one of the best diagnosticians in Austin. I happen to have a rare skin condition that was misdiagnosed by several other dermatologists. As a result of his skill, I’m on the mend. He’s very business-​like and won’t spend a lot of time shooting the breeze but he will get you well and takes an interest in «difficult» cases.
