Summary
- ABR Board-Certified Radiation Oncologist Practicing at Shelby Baptist Medical Center in Alabaster, Alabama (South Suburban Birmingham)...
I believe that excellent quality radiation oncology begins with real commitment to patient wellbeing above all else. I derive this belief from my faith and endeavor to demonstrate the love of Christ to each patient that enters my office. I ascribe fully to the mission of the Shelby Baptist Medical Center, which states the following:
"As a witness to the love of God, revealed through Jesus Christ, the Baptist Health System is committed to ministries that enhance the health, dignity, and wholeness of those we serve,
through Integrity, Compassion, Advocacy, Resourcefulness, and Excellence."
I share in this commitment, and I couldn't possibly put it better!
