Personal Statement:
“The treatment of cancer has evolved over the past 35 years with new innovations and techniques which have been very challenging and also rewarding. At Southland Oncology and South Suburban Cancer Center we believe in the multidisciplinary management of cancer, which means more than just providing medical or radiation therapy treatment. I believe firmly in patient education, which means helping you understand your condition, answering your questions and putting you in touch with community resources. We make your fight against cancer a team effort.”
“To many patients, these services are every bit as important as the medical. Cancer can be a frightening experience and patients and their families have so many questions. Counseling and education is our major focus and is as important as the treatment of cancer itself.”
