Our Team
We encourage patients and their loved ones to participate in a wide range of complementary and alternative treatments, including support groups, nutritional counseling, massage and more.
Gynecologic oncologists are physicians who, in addition to being trained in obstetrics and gynecology, receive training in the management of women with cancer of the female organs. They manage care from diagnosis through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Our extended care team includes radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiation therapists, nurses, social workers and support staff. We also have a nurse practitioner who coordinates care in the role of nurse navigator. Our caregivers combine the latest in medical expertise with a patient-centered approach to care that focuses on the unique needs of each individual.
