Pallav K. Mehta, MD
“The relationship that is developed between a patient and their oncologist is one that is unique in all of medicine. I truly appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to guide my patients through what is often a frightening and life-changing experience. I firmly believe in utilizing standard of care and cutting-edge cancer therapies, while also understanding the importance of the patient as a human being, incorporating topics such as optimizing nutrition or exercise with every patient I meet. I am always grateful that this wonderful profession provides me with personal and professional fulfillment at every level.”
– Dr. Pallav Mehta, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University
