We combine convenience and expert care for our patients
Our hepatobiliary patients have the opportunity to meet with all the specialists involved in their care during one convenient visit. Previously a patient might have needed several sessions to be evaluated by his or her hepatologist, surgeon, medical or radiation oncologist and interventional radiologist. At Inova’s Hepatobiliary Tumor Clinic, a patient can see multiple specialists, review test results and receive individualized treatment recommendations in a single visit.
Our clinical coordinator is key to our service
Our clinical coordinator, Amy Siegel, RN, personally guides each patient through diagnosis and treatment and is a key resource as well as a compassionate caregiver.
