Dr Schaeffer exhibited a calm professional demeanor and when you are discussing prostate cancer that is very encouraging in addressing patient anxiety. His command of the subject matter not only about the disease itself but the accompanying anecdotal data that supported some of the option outcomes confirmed that my decision to come to Northwestern and see Dr Schaeffer was justified.
