Frequently Asked Questions
Are you taking new patients?

What do I do if I think I have cancer?
Make an appointment with your primary care physician. He or she will evaluate you and determine what steps need to be taken.
How will I know the costs of my treatment?
Our patient service representative will work closely with you in identifying all costs connected with your treatment.
How long do the chemotherapy treatments take?
Chemotherapy consists of drugs that are usually given through the blood stream. The treatments may last from a few minutes to several hours depending on the complexity of treatments.
What is cancer?
Cancer is not one single disease, but a general term covering many diverse diseases. Each type of cancer has patterns that may differ from other types of cancer, and the same disease often affects one person differently from another. Because there are so many variables, different types of treatments are required and no one treatment is right for everyone. That’s why our physicians customize a course of treatment to meet each patient’s specific needs and condition.
When I arrive, what can I expect?
The doctors see patients on an appointment basis. Wheelchairs are available for patients who need assistance. When you arrive for your appointment, please be sure to check in with the receptionist. At that time, the receptionist will provide you with information and direct you to the next area.
