Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
When you see our surgeon, x-rays, CT or MRI exams may need to be completed to assist with diagnosis. This may have been done by your primary care physician prior to coming to our office. The surgeon will do an evaluation of the testing to clarify abnormal results. He will explore all the options for your treatment. If surgery is the option chosen, the procedure will be fully explained to you. After surgery, a pathology report will be reviewed with you at the post-op visit. Further treatment plans will also be discussed and referrals to other local specialists made as appropriate. Our physicians are compassionate and kind in discussing your treatment options.
