    The majority of face-to-face time I spent with a care provider was with a nurse. She was excellent. I spent much less time with Dr. Santa-Maria, which is fine. I actually have no direct way to assess the quality of care he provides behind the scenes as an oncologist doing what an oncologist does since I have not yet begun actual treatment.
