Our Services
Oncology
Our oncology department provides comprehensive cancer diagnosis and treatment services. We evaluate patients for a wide range of malignancies and use genetic counseling and biomarker testing to identify targeted therapy options.
Neurology
Our neurology team sees patients with both common and complex presentations, from tension headache to early-onset dementia. We offer coordinated care for patients with multiple neurological conditions and maintain close communication with other treating specialists.
Ophthalmology
Our clinical team approaches each patient encounter with attention to detail and a preference for conservative, effective treatment strategies. When more intensive intervention is warranted, we facilitate referrals and coordinate care across settings.
Surgery
Our surgeons provide second opinions and collaborate with referring physicians to confirm that surgery is the appropriate intervention.

Most major commercial plans, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chemotherapy and immunotherapy?
Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Immunotherapy works by stimulating or directing the patient's own immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Some patients receive one, the other, or a combination depending on the cancer type.
Will I lose my hair during cancer treatment?
Hair loss depends on the type of treatment used. Some chemotherapy regimens cause significant hair loss, while others do not. Immunotherapy and targeted therapies typically do not cause hair loss. Your oncologist will discuss what to expect from your specific treatment plan.
What does remission mean?
Remission means that cancer signs and symptoms have reduced significantly or are undetectable on testing. Complete remission means no cancer can be detected. Remission does not always mean cure, and follow-up monitoring continues to detect any recurrence early.
