Dr. Schaffer is no longer practicing medicine. He voluntarily surrendered his medical license under investigation by the State Medical Examiners Board on April 29, 2019. He signed a document to surrender his AL Controlled Substance Certificate on Oct. 3, 2018, effective Dec. 31 2018.
His practice closed without notice and his patients were not notified. He WAS a psychiatrist! Leaving patients with mental health issues high and dry with no information or letting them know they needed to find another doctor is horrible. Dr. Schaffer should be ashamed not only of the acts committed to cause him to lose his license, but even more so for abandoning mental health patients.
More details can be found on the AL State Medical Examiners Board website.

Always late, talks about himself rather than listening to the patient, and doesn't always respond to refill calls. Once I ran out of medication and got really sick from it, I had to find another doctor to see me the same day. He never sent my file over and I had to start all over. I used to have to take half a day off work for appointments. He was usually an hour late to work everyday. Once I even had to wait for 2 hours. This man should not even have a medical license anymore. Please do not waste your time.

Dr. David D. Schaffer was my psychiatrist for about 3 years or more. He is one of the most humble physicians I have ever been under the treatment of, and I was very impressed that he had also a degree in Pharmacology. His knowledge of the details of the pharmaceuticals he prescribed gave me complete confidence in him. He listened to me thoroughly and without being egotistical when I would share information with him, a rare quality in most doctors. Unfortunately for me, a divorce, and change of insurance caused me to lose access to him. I am shocked and saddened by the legal actions taken against him, and I absolutely do not believe they were justified. They have cost us access to one of the best, and most educated pyschiatrists I have ever been treated by.

I love Dr. Schaeffer. He is a kind and considerate doctor who seems to really care about his patients !
