Medical Oncology

Medical oncology is a service provided by our caring team of oncologists and oncology nurses. There are several types of oncologists. A doctor who specializes in using chemotherapy or hormone therapy to treat cancer is called a “medical oncologist”. A doctor who specializes in treating cancer with radiation is called a “radiation oncologist” or radiotherapist. A surgeon who specializes in cancer surgery is called a “surgical oncologist”. Because most cancers require a combination of treatments, a patient may have all three types of cancer specialist involved in his/her care.

We are highly experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely empathetic. We pride ourselves on staying up to date on the most advanced treatments and clinical trials, and then suggesting the most appropriate. Further, we take a genuine interest in each patient, and work hard to help fulfill their every need. We also make a special effort to educate our patients and their families about various cancers and the side effects of treatment.
