The primary goal of the radiation oncology team at Good Samaritan is to treat each patient with care and compassion they deserve. What sets us apart from other facilities with Radiation Oncology treatment capabilities is that all of our staff makes their homes and lives in Knox County or other close by communities. This is where we not only work, it is where we live and care for our neighbors, friends and family members with whom we have real, personal connections. We truly care about and are invested in our patient’s outcomes and experiences on a personal level.
