Dr. Loreta Garretson’s appreciation for modern medicine springs from years of going without. She grew up in Lithuania, through the early years of post-Soviet independence where medicine lagged behind. “When my grandmother developed cancer, she could not get the level of care that had been standard in the U.S. for years. We had no estrogen and progesterone receptor testing, for example. We struggled to do simple things. I know what it means to lack access,” she explains. That experience shaped her philosophy and her future, inspiring her towards lifting barriers to care. That drive brought her to rural Kentucky, in tobacco country where cancer is a real problem. She built a hematology/oncology program at Murray Calloway County Hospital. It grew from no patients to over 3,000 inside two years. Before, area residents had to drive a long distance for cancer care and many did without. In southern New Jersey, she finds the same level of challenge and satisfaction. “We are providing local care to communities in need. In AtlantiCare, I found similar values, a philosophy very close to my heart,” she says. Dr. Garretson is board certified in internal medicine and medical oncology by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is fluent in Lithuanian, Russian and Polish. She completed her M.D. and internship in Lithuania. A foreign exchange summer program brought her to Columbia University, New York, then to St. Michael’s Hospital Medical Center in Newark, where she did her residency in internal medicine. At St. Michaels, she also completed a fellowship in hematology/oncology and was named chief third year fellow. Philosophy of Care I am successful when I match resources with patient needs. We focus on what we can do, not on what we cannot. I listen and engage them in conversation and they know we are working for them, behind the scenes. We celebrate every small victory to make life happier for each patient. This encourages me and my staff, every day. Dr. Garretson is highly rated in 31 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Pleuropulmonary Blastoma, Paget Disease of the Breast, Breast Cancer, and Familial Colorectal Cancer. Dr. Garretson is board certified in American Board Of Internal Medicine, 2012 and American Board Of Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology, 2016. Dr. Garretson is currently accepting new patients.

What is an oncologist?
An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer. There are different types of oncologists who focus on specific kinds of treatments. Here are some examples:
- Medical oncologists use medications like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to fight cancer.
- Surgical oncologists perform operations to remove cancerous tumors or tissue.
- Radiation oncologists use high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells.
- Pediatric oncologists focus on treating children and teens with cancer.
- Geriatric oncologists work with people with cancer who are 65 and older.
- Gynecologic oncologists treat cancers in reproductive organs for individuals assigned female at birth.
- Hematologist-oncologists treat cancers of the blood, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
Why am I being referred to an oncologist?
You may be referred to an oncologist if your primary care doctor suspects you have cancer or another serious condition that requires specialized treatment. Oncologists are experts in diagnosing and treating cancer, but they also manage other conditions like blood disorders or abnormal cell growths that aren’t cancerous. For example, some people are referred to a hematologist-oncologist for issues with blood cells.
What tests are performed by an oncologist?
Oncologists use a variety of tests to help diagnose cancer and other serious conditions. These tests help them understand what stage the cancer is in or if the cancer has spread. Common tests include:
- Blood tests to check for abnormal cells, proteins, or other markers that might suggest cancer.
- Biopsies, where a small tissue sample is taken from a suspected area to check for cancer cells.
- Imaging tests like CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, and PET scans, which help oncologists get a detailed picture of what’s happening inside the body.
What treatments are available to me?
The type of treatment you receive depends on the kind of cancer, its stage, and your overall health. Treatment usually begins soon after diagnosis, depending on how quickly care needs to start. Your oncologist will guide you through the different treatment options and help you decide on the best approach.
