NURSES
Our registered nurses are caring and compassionate and serve as the cornerstone of our patient advocacy, education, symptom management and treatment procedures. During a time when you need help the most, our nurses will be right by your side.
During your radiation treatment process at Central Alabama Radiation Oncology, our nursing staff works continuously behind the scenes communicating with your doctor and coordinating your care. Our nurses spend a lot of time with patients and their families during the treatment process and for that reason, often end up becoming close friends. In most cases, our nursing staff is available to provide same-day care should you need treatment for side effects or have questions between regularly scheduled visits.
THERAPISTS
Central Alabama Radiation Oncology’s team of therapists utilizes the world’s most advanced technology to implement your personalized radiation treatment plan.
In addition to being the hands-on treatment administrators, our Radiation Therapists work with the Radiation Oncologist to design your personalized treatment plan. Our physics and dosimetry specialists coordinate, manage and monitor your treatments to assure the radiation therapy you receive is delivered with precision accuracy.
A Radiation Therapist will be with you during each treatment visit and will become a friendly face you can rely on. Radiation Therapists are an integral part of our team approach to your care and realize the treatment process is not just clinical for you. Your time is our time. We want you to be comfortable and want to provide you with the best possible treatment experience.
