Medical Services
Medical oncologists specialize in diagnosing and treating cancer with chemotherapy and other therapeutic drugs. Our board-certified medical oncologists are often the leaders of a treatment team helping you before, during and after cancer treatment. Your medical Oncologist is also a specialist in diagnosing and treating disorders of the blood. Examples include iron deficiency, anemia, low platelets and hemochromatosis (too many red blood cells).
Your oncology nurses are experts in chemotherapy administration. Oncology nurses are trained by the Oncology Nursing Society Cancer Chemotherapy / Biotherapy Guidelines. Several Oncology Certified Nurses (OCN) are on staff. They not only administer your prescribed treatment, but are also ready to answer any questions you may have and make sure you are getting personal support during treatment.
