Salem Oncology Center strives to provide "Caring Beyond Medicine," where the practice of medicine is not a job but a mission. With a major focus on the individual patient, we provide the best possible care, which includes the most up-to-date knowledge, combined with compassion and caring. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan, and high-tech measures are taken to avoid possible side effects. Salem Oncology Center has provided care to patients from around the world. Our multicultural, sensitive staff serves the needs of our patients and their families. We look at the patient not only as a person but as a family rather than a disease. Salem Oncology Center has an efficient system of evaluating new patients. A complete patient evaluation is accomplished within 48-72 hours. Working with our network of pathologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, and surgeons, we deliver patient diagnosis and care promptly. All radiological studies are scheduled within the first 24-48 hours after the initial consultation with Dr. Salem, and surgical procedures, if necessary, are scheduled within 24-72 hours. We believe that what determines a patient's chance for cure are scientific knowledge and the quality of medical care. Accordingly, we consult with the best specialists in the Texas Medical Center, as well as the leading national and international cancer experts. Each individual’s treatment plan is designed after a group consultation with these experts. The meticulous and appropriate evaluation of pathology and radiological findings are crucial to the development of a treatment plan. Therefore, we strive to obtain a group opinion in these areas to assure a correct diagnosis and consequently, a correct treatment. Salem Oncology Center has been providing quality medical care with warmth and understanding to patients from around the world since 1991.
