FROM SHERIDAN:
“As an oncologist I am able to provide all of the elements of care that lead me to a career in medicine.

It is an honour to walk together with a patient and their family through the highs and lows of cancer treatment and to provide compassion built on a holistic relationship. It is also exciting to work in a profession where the evolving scientific understanding of cancer and cancer treatment can quickly influence clinical practice. I am pleased to be working alongside a group of oncologists who are research focused and who are committed to excellence and compassion in their work.”
