FRONT DESK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Each time you come to the office we ask that you check in with our receptionist. Our receptionist can answer any questions you may have, or direct you to the appropriate staff member. This is also the appropriate area to notify our staff of any insurance changes you may have. They will collect any co-payments or referrals that are required by your insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

PHLEBOTOMY AND LABORATORY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Phlebotomy refers to the procedure of drawing blood for a laboratory test. Many of the decisions about your treatment are based on your lab results. You may be asked to wait until the tests have been processed before you receive chemotherapy or leave the office. Some test results are not immediately available; they can be obtained later from your doctor or nurse.<\/span><\/p>\n

RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS DEPARTMENT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The future of pharmaceutical innovation has never been brighter. New state-of-the-art\u00a0 medicines in development are the result of recent knowledge about disease and the pharmaceutical industry’s commitment to research and development. Gabrail Cancer Center maintains dedicated trained research staff to conduct and promote high quality clinical research. Our commitment and sincere hope is to provide potentially promising therapies to patients through research.<\/span><\/p>\n

INFUSION SUITE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you arrive for your chemotherapy treatment or other type of infusion, we ask that you check in with the receptionist. Most likely you will have blood drawn before going to the treatment area. The amount of time you spend in the treatment area can vary depending on your treatment. Please ask your nurse for specific information about the length of your treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

We provide blankets, pillows, board games, cards, cable television, and more. You are also welcome to bring your own personal items or other comfort measures such as blankets, CD players with headphones, or your favorite book.<\/span><\/p>\n
