Dr. Adashek’s Philosophy of Care
“I became a hematologist/oncologist to empower my patients against their disease. Cancer care is complex, involving many steps and specialties. It requires a team. We now have expanding cancer treatment options including immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and chemotherapies – all to fight cancer. Every year clinical trials and new treatments advance our ability to provide care. There is no better time to be a hematologist/oncologist than now.

I believe in helping each patient advance against their disease and achieve their goals. My role as a physician is to help my patients understand and choose the best option for them.”
