Medical oncologists
A medical oncologist is a doctor who coordinates and oversees your care. They treat cancer using chemotherapy or other medications. At MMH, we partner with The Christ Hospital for medical oncology coverage. These providers include:
Radiation oncologists
A radiation oncologist oversees your radiation therapy treatments. This doctor works with other members of the team to develop a plan specific for you. At MMH, our radiation oncologist is Frank Peyton, MD.
Nurse practioners
Nurse practitioners work closely with oncologists and the cancer care team to assist patients with treatment. They assist with everything from patient assessment and education to symptom management and navigating life after cancer. At MMH, you will likely work with Emily McNulty, NP.
Radiation therapists
Medical physicist and dosimetrist
A medical physicist and dosimetrist works closely with your radiation oncologist to ensure your treatments are tailored to meet your specific needs. A physicist ensures the radiation equipment works safely, while a dosimetrist determines what radiation dosage is best to destroy cancer while sparing healthy tissue.
