New Patients

Dear Patient,

Welcome to Cancer Centers of the Carolinas.  During your first visit, you will meet your oncologist and other members of your medical team, as well as learn about your treatment options.  It is common to feel anxious about your first visit; we encourage you to bring a family member or friend with you.  Our care team at Cancer Centers of the Carolinas will do everything we can to make you comfortable.  We will spend time thoroughly explaining your diagnosis and treatment options.

When you arrive, you will find convenient parking and easy access into our center, where you will be greeted by warm and friendly people ready to help you.
