At Medical Oncology Care Associates we have a dedicated team of prominent Hematologists/Oncologists who are board certified in internal medicine as well as Hematology/Oncology. "We believe in order to be a good Oncologist, you need to be a good Internist first - a good, all-around-doctor as well as a cancer specialist. At the time of your first office visit, one specific physician will be designated as your personal physician. Should your physician be unavailable, one of our colleagues or our nurse practitioner will be available to care for you.
