Specialities

  • Nurse Practitioner

    A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has gone through additional training to provide more advanced medical and diagnostic care to patients with all different kinds of illnesses. These medical professionals generally hold at least a master’s degree, so they have a comprehensive basis of medical knowledge to help patients suffering from chronic and acute conditions. They may work in hospitals, intensive care units, hospice centers, and even doctor’s offices, depending on their specialty.

  • Radiation Oncology

    Radiation oncology is the field of medicine that aims to treat cancer with radiation therapy. The doctors who treat cancer in this way have an in-depth understanding of the unique problems patients face when they undergo radiation and can, therefore, give them a more beneficial experience. They can help their patients explore a wide variety of treatment options, so they can pick the kind of radiation therapy that’s right for them and their specific conditions.
