The provider that is the subject of this survey is not a primary care personnel and so some of the questions were difficult to answer. The provider is either a nurse practitioner or PA or similar at an oncology clinic and I see her or the oncologist preparatory to having a chemotherapy or immunotherapy infusion the following business day. The provider as well as the oncologist she is associated with ALWAYS provide the ABSOLTE highest level of care and ALL the support staff (i.e. Oncology nurses) and administrative staff that I have dealt with who are associated with the oncology clinic provide a consistently exceptionally high level of care and support services.
