Compassionate Care From Nationally Recognized Physicians.
Since 1972, Atlanta Oncology Associates has specialized in the treatment of cancer to provide patients with the individualized attention they need. Our staff is experienced in the most advanced approaches to treatment. In addition, we offer technologically superior facilities to provide the best care possible. These facilities are accredited by the American College of Radiology, the principal supervisory body for radiation oncology.
Our patients often receive other treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or surgery, as well as radiation therapy. To ensure the best possible outcome, this multidisciplinary approach requires collaboration and coordination among the specialists on a patient's treatment team.
The major goal of radiation therapy is to maximize curing cancer while maintaining optimal organ function and quality of life. Because each patient's case presents unique challenges and requires individualized attention, we urge you to consult your radiation oncologist about which treatment plan is best for you. It is extremely important to seek out an expert team of physicians who specialize in your type of cancer to insure optimal outcome.
Real Care. Incredible Outcomes.
The Atlanta Oncology Associates staff and physicians are the best and brightest care providers in the country - we accept nothing less than the highest quality care available.
