Dr. Mohebtash’ s Philosophy of Care

“It has been a privilege to take care of so many cancer patients over the years. The relationship that develops between a patient and an oncologist is broad, deep, and very personal. Patients today have many more treatment options than they did 20 years ago. I take the time to explain those options, as well as the pros and cons of each, so that my patient understands and is able to make well-informed decisions. I know that I can’t cure everyone. But I am here with hopes that I can help everyone.”
