Radiation oncologists are the doctors who oversee the care of each cancer patient undergoing radiation treatment.
They develop and prescribe each cancer patients treatment plan.
They make sure that every treatment is accurately given.
They monitor the patients progress and adjust treatment to make sure patients get quality care throughout treatment. Radiation oncologists also help identify and treat any side effects of radiation therapy.
They work closely with other physicians, and all members of the radiation oncology team. Radiation oncologists have completed four years of college, four years of medical school, one year of general medical training, then four years of residency (specialty) training in radiation oncology.
They have extensive training in the safe use of radiation to treat disease.
All of our Physicians are certified by the American Board of Radiology.
