Dr. Fauzia G. Khattak

Caring for patients as a hematologist/oncologist is an incredible privilege, and I work hard to ensure that my patients have access to the very best evidence-based treatment options. Every cancer patient is different, and I strive to fully understand each patient’s goals and preferences, as well as their unique cancer biology, to determine the best possible treatment plan. I believe honesty and good communication are key to good cancer care, as is a team-based approach with our nursing staff, pharmacists, other specialist and primary care physicians, and the rest of the care team. I am continuously amazed at the resilience and strength of the patients I care for, and find the close relationships created with my patients and their families to be the most rewarding aspect of my work.

My philosophy of care revolves around effective communication with my patients, empowering them with the knowledge about their diagnosis and helping them decide the treatment approach that best suits them. Oncology is a rapidly growing field and I take delight in learning about the research of the latest treatments being used in cancer management and sharing that with my patients.
