Oncology & Hematology Care in Washington
Everyone has heard of cancer before, as it is a condition that often affects at least one person within our own lives, but with so many different forms and potential locations it can quickly become confusing. Cancer causes the cells within a person’s body to grow out of control. The entire body is made up of cells, which is how cancer can appear in so many different areas, or even in multiple places at once.
The board-certified oncologists at Northwest Medical Specialties provide comprehensive testing and treatments for all types of cancer. With 6 convenient locations in Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Federal Way, Bonney Lake, and Olympia, you won’t have to travel far to receive the best care following your cancer treatment. We understand that discovering that you are suffering from cancer can be overwhelming. Our oncologists will take the time to answer any questions that you may have and discover the a best treatment option for you.
