I liked the upbeat music in the office, helped that kind of appointment not be depressing. The Doctor was fantastic!! She had a welcoming sincere, honest, down-to-earth, and straight-shooter personality. She didn't show any annoyance when I declined her student-resident in the room. She listened intentionally to everything I had to say. She broke down her process, the next steps, and gave an informative deep dive on what I'm experiencing. The ultrasound technician was friendly, kind, and gentle with the ultrasound equipment, and her conversation was comforting. After the ultrasound exam, the Doctor wrapped things up perfectly, and had submitted the request for my next tests. I enjoyed my appointment, my anxiety was high, but came down quickly the first 5 minutes with the Doctor.

I liked the upbeat music in the office, helped that kind of appointment not be depressing. The Doctor was fantastic!! She had a welcoming sincere, honest, down-to-earth, and straight-shooter personality. She didn't show any annoyance when I declined her student-resident in the room. She listened intentionally to everything I had to say. She broke down her process, the next steps, and gave an informative deep dive on what I'm experiencing. The ultrasound technician was friendly, kind, and gentle with the ultrasound equipment, and her conversation was comforting. After the ultrasound exam, the Doctor wrapped things up perfectly, and had submitted the request for my next tests. I enjoyed my appointment, my anxiety was high, but came down quickly the first 5 minutes with the Doctor.

Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center Opens New Comprehensive Cancer Center

Wellstar Health System, one of Georgia’s largest and most integrated healthcare systems, announced the grand opening of the Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center on the Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center campus in Roswell, Georgia on March 27. The Center will serve as one of only two locations in metro Atlanta featuring state-of-the-art CyberKnife® technology for radiation therapy, a noninvasive treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous tumors and other conditions where radiation therapy is needed.

The Cancer Center will now offer comprehensive cancer services, including medical oncology; radiation oncology; imaging and many medical specialties from nationally recognized, expert and experienced physicians all in one convenient location.

“With this beautiful new $12 million state-of-the-art Comprehensive Cancer Center, we can offer people in our community some of the most advanced cancer treatments close to home,” said Jon-Paul Croom, president of Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. “People will be able to come to the 12,000-square-foot Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center for almost all aspects of diagnosis, staging and treatment, with surgery across the way at the hospital.”

Wellstar team members and the Roswell community celebrated the official opening of the Cancer Center last week with a ribbon cutting ceremony following ten months of construction. Attendees had the opportunity to tour the facility and Wellstar’s second CyberKnife system, newly housed at the Cancer Center.

Wellstar first began using the CyberKnife System at Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center in 2006 to treat conditions throughout the body and can be an alternative to surgery or for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors. CyberKnife can reduce radiotherapy timelines from the traditional eight weeks to as little as one to five days.

“We are committed to providing the best treatment options for our patients and are proud to bring the CyberKnife system to this community,” said Dr. Mark McLaughlin, radiation oncology medical director for Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. “With the state-of-the-art CyberKnife technology, we can deliver high precision radiation in fewer radiotherapy sessions with the goal of making treatment easier and improving outcomes for patients. We look forward to continuing to help patients beat cancer and celebrate their futures.”

The multidisciplinary team of cancer experts onsite will offer patients a high level of knowledge and expertise, along with compassion and hope. The multi-disciplinary physician experts at Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center include:

  • Dr. Mark McLaughlin, Radiation Oncologist
  • Dr. Jay Singh, Colorectal Surgeon
  • Dr. Faisal Bhutta, Pulmonologist
  • Dr. Greg Coffman, General Surgeon
  • Dr. Arthur Grigorian, Neurosurgeon
  • Dr. Sachin Lavania, Pulmonologist
  • Dr. Nagender Mankan, Medical Oncologist
  • Dr. Satyen Mehta, Medical Oncologist
  • Dr. Scott Miller, Surgical Urologist
  • Dr. Laura Pearson, Breast Surgeon 
  • Dr. Theolyn Price, Thoracic Surgeon
  • Dr. Fiyin Sokoya, Otolaryngologist

Conquering Breast Cancer with a Wellstar Support Team

When Ebony-Joy Igbinoba was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer at age 38, an interdisciplinary team of Wellstar experts stood by her side to help her face cancer with confidence.

Now she is living cancer-free, with a Wellstar care team dedicated to keeping her healthy.

Ebony-Joy started to feel ill at a church concert in spring 2019. She checked in with her primary care provider Dr. Nandini Sunkireddy, who told her that due to the anatomy of her breasts, a mammogram would give a more accurate picture of her health than a traditional exam. 

Once Ebony-Joy had gotten her mammogram, Wellstar acted quickly, calling her the same day to get additional images and then a biopsy. Ebony-Joy was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer—cancer in both breasts, which is rare, especially at her younger age.

Ebony-Joy decided to get a double mastectomy with Wellstar Breast Surgeon Dr. Laura Pearson. Then, she got chemotherapy at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. At every step, she found a support system, including oncologists Dr. Carlos Osmon and Dr. Nagender Mankan, as well as Physician Assistant Kristen Gue. Dr. Pearson and Dr. Asaf Yalif completed her reconstruction.

Ebony-Joy said her providers are proactive, friendly and approachable. 

“I trust them with my life, and they’re fighting with me,” she said. “They’re rooting for me.”

Ebony-Joy’s care team looked out for every aspect of her well-being—even as she was being treated for breast cancer, her providers paid attention to all her health needs. She saw a Wellstar psychologist, who helped her cope with the diagnosis. 

To watch for any side effects of cancer treatment on her heart, Ebony-Joy sees Cardiologist Dr. Natasha Mamdani. Wellstar Gastroenterologist Dr. Inder Tandon and Wellstar Pulmonologist Dr. Nora Hurt also joined her care team to monitor her health.

“God has blessed me with Wellstar doctors, nurses and staff that are truly dedicated to top-notch comprehensive care,” Ebony-Joy said. “They are my superheroes.”

Ebony-Joy’s care team also knew that her diagnosis did not just affect her—they were concerned for her family’s well-being, too. Her nurse navigators referred her to resources about how to talk to children when their parent has cancer, as well as support groups and financial assistance.

“As a single mother, they knew how important it was for me to fight for my kids,” Ebony-Joy said about her Wellstar providers. “I come from an amazing family, and I am happy to add Wellstar to it as they will continue to support me for years to come.”

Ebony-Joy not only stays informed of her own health—she is looking out for her children, too. She learned that she has a gene mutation that also makes her more likely to be affected by pancreatic cancer. She also discovered that two of her great aunts and her cousin all had breast cancer. Now that she knows her family history, her children will get screened at early ages to stay healthy.
