My OHSU Oncologist is Dr. Sokolova. For best results use the Physician Advice and Referral Service at OHSU.

OHSU is a NCI-Designated Cancer Center. There are 72 NCI-designated cancer centers around the country, funded by NCI “to deliver cutting-edge cancer treatments to patients.”

I have been a cancer patient at OHSU for five years. I wish that I could report being fully satisfied but I have found the care to be uneven. I believe it depends in part on which oncologist you get. One thing I have learned is that you can't depend on credentials/education, or published studies to find a good oncologist.
I will be, reluctantly, transferring my care next month elsewhere.

Are there specific OHSU prostate cancer doctors that you'd recommend? For instance, are you getting good care from Sokolova?
