The Northeast Georgia Diagnostic Clinic offers
comprehensive cancer care through the Oncology Specialists of North
Georgia. The Oncology Specialists of North Georgia are a team of caring
physicians and healthcare professionals dedicated to helping cancer
patients live their lives to the fullest while receiving the best
medical care available. Our team is made up of board certified
oncologists and registered nurses with decades of experience and a
heartfelt commitment to offering patients the latest advances in
oncology care.
If surgery is
necessary, our oncologists work closely with your surgeon and will
oversee your follow-up care.
Chemotherapy,
radiation therapy and imaging services are coordinated through our
office. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy may receive their
treatments in our facilities. Chemotherapy is a treatment using cancer-fighting
drugs. There are different ways to give chemotherapy but the most common
route is administered into the vein. Like any other drug, chemotherapy
has side effects and the severity depends upon the drug and the
individual. Before chemotherapy is started, the doctor
thoroughly explains the specific plan of treatment, the side effects and
which symptoms need to be reported immediately.
The Diagnostic Clinic and Oncology Specialists of
North Georgia participate in national oncology clinical trials so that
our patients may benefit from new drugs coming into the cancer fighting
arsenal.
A diagnosis of
cancer can be physically and emotionally overwhelming for the patient
and his or her family. It is our goal to help you through this difficult
time by providing the services, supports and personal attention you
need.
