Partners in Care . . .
As we become partners in your healthcare you can expect: the most current medical knowledge and treatment available; education about your specific treatment; psychological and emotional support; access to community resources and support groups; access to clinical trials and research protocols.

You are an active and critical member of our partnership. There may be times during the course of your treatment when you may become puzzled by what we are doing or why we are doing it. We believe knowledge empowers you to take control of your healthcare issues. Our physicians and entire staff welcome the opportunity to answer your questions. Timely and effective communication strengthens our partnership.
           
This website has been designed to introduce you to your “partners in care” who will be with you throughout your treatment and recovery. As you explore the information we have gathered, we trust you  will find answers to questions you might have regarding your overall relationship with our practice.  And again, should you have any questions, please ask.  We look forward to our partnership.

“To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.”

Your Feelings Matter
Our entire staff is here to support and encourage you on your journey back to wellness.  We understand you will have many feelings – denial, anger, fear, sadness, loneliness – but remember hope, determination, confidence, and courage are also feelings that can help you take control and fight your disease.

We have a social worker on staff that can provide many resources and services to help you and your family cope with the disease process. There are many support groups available during and after treatment that will be very helpful to you, your family and friends.

Naturally, friends and loved ones will also have a range of emotions and questions about your type of cancer, treatment options, and how they can support you in the months to come.
