Our Staff

An important aspect of compassionate care is the strong relationships we build with our patients and their families. Unlike other doctor-patient relationships, our entire team of care providers works closely with patients, often several times per week, over the course of many month or even years. We come to know one another personally, and enjoy seeing old friends come to visit.

When you visit us at the Batte Cancer Center, we want you to feel like you are visiting old friends too. Below are some of the faces of friends you will see when you visit us. Click on each picture below to view a larger image.
