About Us

Here, you’ll have access to a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists, state-of-the-art treatments and technology to deliver the most personalized plan to treat your unique cancer diagnosis. And, when you walk through our door, you become family. Here, you’ll be surrounded by a compassionate and knowledgeable care team. 

Patient-centered care by a team of cancer specialists

Our medical oncologists work as a member of a multidisciplinary team to provide you with the most comprehensive, patient-centered care. The hallmark of the cancer program at Wellstar West Georgia Enoch Callaway Cancer Center is a weekly cancer conference where our medical oncologists come together with other cancer specialists, nurses, pharmacists, social workers and support staff to review and discuss each patients’ unique medical conditions. Our goal is to design the best treatment plan, personalized to fight your specific cancer.

We strive to bring the most recent and advanced treatments to people touched by cancer. At the renovated and expanded Enoch Callaway Cancer Center, we take each person’s individual health conditions and goals into consideration when we design a treatment plan. We have the latest in genetically-based targeted therapies, immunotherapy and chemotherapy to fight various types of cancer. Targeted therapies are drugs that target specific genetic abnormalities in the cancer’s DNA. Through DNA sequencing of a previously biopsied tumor, tissue or blood sample, we can determine whether one of these targeted therapies might be effective. Immunotherapy drugs harness the patient’s own immune system to detect and fight the cancer. And, newer chemotherapies have been developed with fewer side effects and newer cancer support drugs that have improved the chemotherapy experience for patients.

Appointments and Cancellations
Thank you for choosing Wellstar Oncology for your care. We understand the importance of getting answers and beginning treatment quickly. New patients become family quickly here, and we would not ask you to wait for a long time to see a provider. We’ll do our best to get you scheduled within 24-48 hours.

To cancel your appointment, please give our office a call within 24-48 hours of the scheduled appointment.
Directions
Please note that using GPS navigation to get here may not be accurate. Our practice is located in the recently renovated Enoch Callaway Cancer Center on the campus of Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center, to the left of the main hospital. People who have been here previously will recognize the location as “the old cancer clinic.” Wellstar Oncology’s entrance is at the back of the Enoch Callaway Cancer Center building, and there is patient parking nearby. Once you enter the building, our office is located on the second floor.
Hospitalization
Physicians at this practice location have privileges at Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center.
Insurance and Payments
We care for patients with cancer, whether they have insurance coverage or not. As you receive cancer care and treatment here by our physicians, we confirm your primary insurance coverage, explain your benefits and file insurance claims with your carrier. If your insurance plan requires a referral for office visits, a referral must be received prior to your visit. For patients requiring additional financial assistance, an office representative will assist you. If patients require hospitalization, we will file primary insurance claims for any physician services provided to you while at the hospital.
Practice News

Patients Benefit from Cancer Center Expansion

The Enoch Callaway Cancer Center (ECCC) program at Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center underwent a $24 million renovation and consolidation of all cancer services in one location in the fall of 2020, offering our community a whole new level of services, in a beautiful setting. Made possible by the generous donations of Callaway Foundation and local businesses, residents and team members, our 40,000-square-foot facility features many benefits to patients, including an expansion of our office suite; additional diagnostic technologies and individualized chemotherapy solutions; an in-house pharmacy for chemotherapy preparation; and a boutique filled with wigs and other items for people with cancer. Our patients also benefit from a new resource Center to learn about cancer, which includes a Children’s Corner with age-appropriate information, technologies and special programs to help children deal with a family member’s diagnosis of cancer. Patients and their families also appreciate the new chapel and public meeting space for support groups, community outreach activities and integrated therapies such as therapeutic exercise and guided artistic expression classes.

Prescription Refills
Please call our office three days prior to needing additional refills so we can provide timely processing. When you call, please choose the option for the nurse’s line.
Referrals
Any provider/referring office needing to refer a patient to our office, please call our main line.
