WHAT TO EXPECT

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT TO CARIBBEAN RADIATION ONCOLOGY CENTER

Our patients are mostly referred by their primary physician, hematologist-oncologist or surgeon, and patients also visit the clinic of their own accord. During your first visit, which may last for 1 to 2 hours, you can expect the following:

A complete medical evaluation
A physical examination, diagnostic evaluation and consultation
A detailed and honest communication about your treatment, possible side effects and what to expect

WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN

The team at Caribbean Radiation Oncology Center works in cooperation with your physician(s) to establish a treatment that perfectly suits your needs. Before your first appointment we gather all medical records relevant to your cancer condition. Your medical records are then reviewed prior to being seen by the Oncologist.
