Report
Dr. Andrew Saffer and his wonderful staff are a gift to anyone with aching feet. My entire family and I have been going to Dr. Safer for one ailment or another for 15 years. He is nothing short of a miracle worker. My husband and I have both walked in with painful "things" on the bottom of our feet, and walked out pain free and with a plan to ensure future happy feet. His entire staff reflects his caring, positive spirit. If you are looking for the best podiatrist and staff in the universe, they can be found in the office of Dr. Andrew Saffer in Mt. Pleasant.

I've been a patient of Dr. Saffer for over six months, and what strikes me the most is his attentiveness and accessibility. Very nice staff also. For me, he recommended exercises and stretches instead of pushing surgery. You can trust he'll do what's best for the patient. If you live near Mount Pleasant, I highly recommend him.

I wish Dr. Saffer did more than just foot and ankle fixes! He's not only compassionate, but goes above board on making the patient feel like they were his only patient. Thanks for doing such a great job! I would recommend you to anyone that needs your service. Excellent!

Report
My husband's been a patient for 2 years now and Dr. Saffer and his team are always GENUINELY pleasant, friendly and caring. While, unfortunately, my husband's foot issues and pain haven't gotten better, as there's no fix or cure for them, I at least feel like Dr. Saffer has tried his best to assist. We've been to other podiatrists in the area that were far less knowledgeable and definitely lacked the caring qualities that we found here. Thank you to Dr. Saffer's team, especially Ashley, for always being so kind and accommodating!
