About John M. Buatti

The motivation to fix [cancer] comes from the patients I see every day. And if you are going to fix it you have to do research to understand how the treatments work. I have been fortunate enough to be able to contribute by developing new treatments that have become very standard therapy.

I was very scared of my diagnosis and fearful of the unknown. From the first step into the clinic the receptionist had a beautiful and warm smile. That helped to ease my concerns. The nurse, the Dr. And the radiation therapists were wonderful. Every step of the way they explain the process and answered any questions I may have. They all were knowledgeable, professional, kind, considerate, and wonderful.
