Benefits of the Multidisciplinary Approach
In one combined office visit,you have the opportunity to meet with the surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist and oncology nurse navigator.
- Our physicians review each person's case and offer same-day recommendations
- Multidisciplinary clinic appointments are set up to ensure that you have time to ask questions to all members of the team. They conclude with an oncology nurse navigator going over the treatment plan.
- Oncology nurse navigators also coordinate your support services, as needed, to ensure each person is supported at all phases of care. Our oncology nurse navigator will help you coordinate the services of all our support services, which might include speech-language pathology, oncology social worker and a registered dietician.
