Highlights
Meet Hematologist and Oncologist Gwen Garcia, MD
My name is Gwen Garcia. I am a Hematologist and Community Medical Oncologist working out of the UVA Augusta Cancer Center in Fishersville, Virginia. Oncology is a rapidly developing field. There's always hope to give people in terms of new treatments, not just for cancer, but for cancer symptoms like pain and nausea. Well, I really enjoy being a physician in the community and being able to interact with all types of different patients. One of the things I'm really proud of working at the UVA cancer center, Augusta, is our patients are able to receive world-class cancer care close to home. When I meet a new patient, I take the time to get to know them because I think in the end, that's one of the most important things that matters, the patient's values and preferences, and that I think it's important that they have a say in what type of treatment they get.
