Why a patient should choose treatment at your practice?
At Texas Oncology in Waco, we strive to provide advanced cancer care in a comfortable cancer center close to home. Our staff is always ready to help and works hard to make sure things go smoothly in difficult circumstances. Our doctors are friendly, available and, of course, excellent clinicians.
What is your personal philosophy around patient care?
I view patient care as a relationship between a trusted advisor and patient. My goal is to present the possible options and help my patients make the most appropriate decision for themselves and their family. Cancer is a complicated and difficult disease that takes a whole team to defeat.
