Staff is great. I actually like the nurse practitioner better. She explained things in detail. Dr. Schell did not mention any side effects of drugs. Only provided with a handout. Seemed non sympathetic with concerns. Stage IV cancer and when ask for pain control medication she offered ibuprofen....
