Finding The Right Cancer Doctor: Finding the right cancer doctor — called an oncologist — and treatment facility is a very important step in receiving the treatment and support you need. Different doctors specialize in different types of cancer and treatments. It’s important for you to find a doctor with experience treating your type of cancer. You also need to feel good about the doctor you choose. You’ll be working with this person closely as you make decisions about your treatment. Your primary care doctor can suggest cancer specialists. Or, you may be able to get a recommendation from a friend or family member. Also, your local hospital should be able to provide you with a list of Specialists who practice there. NIH’s Finding Health Care Services webpage provides a list of several online directories to cancer specialists. Visit http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/ managing-care/ services/.
