Our Space
Our clinic is designed to be a source of healing from the moment you step off the elevator. Dr. Von Schaefer believes in the healing power of crystals and stones, light, and even art; so much so that it doesn’t necessarily feel like a medical clinic when you arrive, but more so a spa. We are located by the sea in the beautiful town of San Clemente, CA. Our clinic has many private IV rooms so patients and their families can experience peace and privacy while undergoing treatment.
