In his radiation oncology practice, Dr. Ferris has broad clinical interests that include treatment for most malignant and non-malignant tumors and the use of advanced radiation techniques.
He strives to work closely with the entire treatment team, including surgery and medical oncology colleagues, to offer cutting-edge and tailored treatment for each patient. He prizes meticulousness and attention to detail throughout each patient's course of radiation therapy.
