Brian Shaffer, MD

Dr.Brian Shaffer is a board certified internist, with over 20 years of experience in private practice. He was one of the first 360 people in the United States to obtain a certification in non surgical muscular skeletal sports injuries. He spent the first part of his career between caring for sick hospitalized medical patients with diabetes, hypertension, respiratory and cardiac issues, and his outpatient family care practice. He has a strong background in treating muscular skeletal sports injuries and has cared for the local professional sports teams in the Trenton area and the world wrestling entertainment.(WWE). Most recently since the state of NJ has legalized medical marijuana(MMJ) he has seen great success in the use of MMJ in treating conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, migraines, inflammatory bowel disease, spinal stenosis and failed back syndrome in a holistic way without using opiates for pain or often reducing its dosage.

Dr. Shaffer focuses on the overall well being of the patient. “I am a good listener and will not let you leave until we are completely satisfied with the direction taken of your pain reduction.” Dr. Shaffer feels that MMJ has given him another tool to use in truly making a difference in the quality and function of his patients lives. He has published his data on heart patients and has over a hundred patient testimonials of success.

His medical practice is conveniently located at 133 Franklin Corner rd in Lawrenceville, NJ and has hospital privileges at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital Barnabas in Hamilton. Dr. Shaffer enjoys staying active with cycling, skiing and he swims with the Jersey Area Masters Program in Skillman, NJ.
