SANDPOINT — Summit Cancer Centers announced its plans to open its latest cancer clinic in Sandpoint.
Located in Suite 306 of the Sandpoint Center, 414 Church, the clinic will start seeing patients on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
Summit Cancer Centers offers a wide range of cancer care services at its various locations in Idaho and in the Spokane area.
“I’m really excited about our new clinic in Sandpoint. Our goal is to advance cancer care in Northern Idaho to a new level, providing exceptional physicians and state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment services. We will have CT and PET/CT imaging, and access to oncology clinical trials for patients in the area so they don’t have to travel long distances for care. We intend to offer all patients in the Sandpoint area superior service and rapid care because cancer does not wait.” says Dr. Arvind Chaudhry, a medical oncologist and principal with Summit Cancer Centers.
The Sandpoint clinic will be offering medical oncology services initially. John Driscoll, Summit business development officer stated “Over the next couple of years, our cancer center will be adding additional cancer care services. In the near future, Summit intends to provide immunotherapy, oral and IV chemotherapy and advanced imaging. In addition to physician services, all Summit clinics provide patient assistance programs, and accept all insurance plans available in the area.”
“We strongly believe the patients in Idaho need a choice. Currently cancer patients have few options for quality care without traveling long distances. Our physicians know that cancer care delivered close to home improves treatment results, and is much easier, and less costly for families, care givers and patients,” continues Dr. Chaudhry.
Summit Cancer Centers is a growing independent physician-based cancer care organization, offering medical and radiation oncology, advanced medical imaging, oral and IV chemotherapy services, and a complete array of radiation treatment options, including the CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system, the most precise radiation treatment device in the Inland Northwest. It currently operates four cancer clinics in Spokane and Spokane Valley, Washington, as well as in Post Falls, Idaho and Meridian, Idaho. Additionally, Summit provides radiation therapy services in partnership with the St. Joseph Regional Medical Center Radiation Oncology Center in Lewiston, Idaho. Summit Cancer Centers is expanding high quality regional oncology services, and bringing their world-renowned cancer care expertise to communities throughout the Inland Northwest.
