Scion Cancer Care, LLC
What's in a name
Patients ask me, "How did you choose your name?"
Well, a 'scion' is a young cutting typically from a fruit tree that is grafted onto a hearty root stock. The young plant cutting relies on the established root stock for nutrients; and together, they bear much fruit.
I can think of no more apt description of me joining this amazing team here at the Gadsden Regional Cancer Center.
In July 2023, I was fresh out of residency at UAB, with a lot of cases under my belt in a great training program, but still a young practitioner.
I joined the team at Gadsden Regional Cancer Center, which is full of a great number of caring and experienced team members. Scottie, my nurse practitioner, has over 20 years experience here in the cancer center. My nursing staff, radiation therapists, physicist, and dosimetrist all have a combined dozens of years of experience in the field of oncology caring for patients with cancer and navigating the sometimes challenging situations associated with treatment of this often scary disease.
I look forward to working with this great team and being a 'scion' for our community, bearing much fruit, the fruit of leading patients towards healing.
