Our
concept of care extends beyond actual treatment,
offering support to patients, family members, and
friends, as they travel the path toward healing.
A diagnosis
of cancer can bring on a flood of emotions and concerns.
At Turville Bay Radiation Oncology Center, we strive
to care for the patients and their loved ones while
treating the disease. Radiation alone, or in
combination with other cancer treatments, can successfully
treat many different types of cancer. Our team of professionals
is dedicated to tailoring a treatment plan to meet
your medical needs in a noninstitutional setting. Someone
is always available to answer questions or help ease
anxieties.
What Can I Expect?
Radiation treatment is individualized depending on
the type, size, and location of the cancer. In order
to tailor treatments to meet the specific needs of
individual patients, the radiation process involves
several components, including consultation, simulation,
treatment planning, and finally, the actual treatment.
Scheduling Your First Appointment
When your primary care physician or other specialist
refers you to our clinic, our patient scheduler will
contact you to set up the initial consultation appointment. A
packet of informational material and health-related
forms will be sent to you prior to the appointment
day. It is important that the forms be filled out
completely and brought to the consultation. Referring
physicians send pertinent medical records to our
clinic, but you should bring any medical records
in your possession, a list of medications, insurance
information, and referral forms with you on the day
of your consultation.
