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....

Review for Dr. Schell

After one visit, Dr. Winkley ordered the tests UK neurology should have ordered for...

I’ve worked with Dr. Varney as a registered nurse and I choose her to be my provider. That speaks volumes. You can’t go wrong. So kind, incredibly smart, truly caring.

Review for Dr. Varney

Repeated phonecalls to the office has been a three stooges runaround . Nobody knows anything and nobody will return your call . I am disappointed...
