Vinaya Potluri, MD

“My approach to cancer treatment includes the latest medical advances. I also work with patients on issues like pain, fatigue, psychological issues, and nutrition. I believe in coordinating with other doctors, chaplains, social workers, psychiatrists or counselors, dieticians, and physical therapists—all as needed by each individual patient. Healing occurs on many different levels.”
