Cancer patients in and around Seminole County now have more options when it comes to receiving cancer care. MD Anderson – Orlando is beginning full-time medical oncology services at South Seminole Hospital under the care of oncologist Dr. Asad Sheikh. In addition, thoracic surgical oncologist Dr. Luis Herrera and breast cancer oncologist Dr. Rebecca Moroose will provide cancer care at the hospital on a part-time basis in their respective specialty areas.
“For the past year Dr. Herrera has been providing thoracic oncology services one day a week here at South Seminole Hospital, but with the growing number of cancer patients in Seminole County this area needs additional oncology options,” said Clarence Brown, MD, President and CEO of MD Anderson – Orlando. “We continue to see the number of men and women diagnosed with cancer climbing. By having these services at South Seminole Hospital, cancer patients can now receive the best cancer care available right in their own neighborhoods.”
The MD Anderson – Orlando oncologists will be housed in the Physician Medical Office Building adjacent to South Seminole Hospital. MD Anderson – Orlando’s main facility is located on the downtown Orlando Health campus and the cancer treatment facility already has a full-time oncology presence at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital.
