Why Choose an Independent Oncology Practice?

When you visit your cancer specialist, you want personalized attention and advocacy focused solely on you. Many practices are owned by hospitals, health plans, or large specialty groups.

​

In hospital-based practices, costs can be higher due to additional "facility fees" from the hospital, adding to your overall bill beyond just the physician services.

​

In hospital-based practices, patients and their doctors may feel restricted by the hospital's network, limiting options based on convenience, quality, or cost. At our independent practice, we choose the best resources to support your care, including using independent labs or radiology services, helping to reduce your expenses.

​

As an independent practice, we prioritize you and your care needs. We work closely with you to ensure you receive the most suitable specialist care. Our focus is on your healing. When additional consultations or specialty care are required, we manage and coordinate referrals regardless of location, ensuring you receive the best care possible. We collaborate with major university cancer centers in St. Louis and renowned research cancer centers out of state, including facilities in Maryland and Texas.
