Dr. Kerry Schaffer was very thorough and informative. Answered all my questions and wanted to hear me describe my treatment plan. She provided the most information to me about the long-term portions of my treatment plan. I definitely felt as if she was professional and yet compassionate.

Dr Shafer spent good time with me to review my history. She used good visuals to show lesions identified by a recent PSMA-PET scan. She discussed LU177 and RA223 technologies and chemotherapy. She is a good listener and answers my questions. She gave me a referral to an orthopedic specialist
