Highlights
Dr. Richard Hall profile video
My name is Richard Hall. I'm a medical oncologist here at the University of Virginia. My specialty is treating cancers that arise in the chest, particularly lung cancer as well as thymic cancers and mesothelioma. I'm passionate about giving the best options for patients for treating patients with lung cancer with the newest therapies and trying to improve both their quality of life as well as their length of life for as long as possible. For our new patients, you can expect a fairly well oiled team that functions in a very collaborative fashion. We work well with our surgical team. We work well with our radiation oncology team, so new patients can expect to have a whole group of people that are available to help care for them. I think patients should come to UVA because we have some of the best clinical trial options available. We have a great team approach to care. We have excellent collaborative colleagues such as radiation and surgery that we can also offer patients.
