Patient-centered perspective
Individualized Integrative Oncology
Patients seek naturopathic oncology support at different stages and with different treatment goals. Some are receiving conventional cancer treatment; others are considering their options or have chosen not to pursue particular interventions. Dr. Lemmo's approach emphasizes informed decisions, individualized discussions, and careful evaluation of the available evidence, potential benefits, limitations and risks. Areas of focus include:
Options & Treatment Safety
Reviewing evidence and safety considerations, including medication and supplement interactions when conventional treatments are used.
Individualized Care Planning
Respectful discussion of patient preferences, treatment choices and coordination with oncology or other health professionals when appropriate.
These are areas of clinical focus, not a list of confirmed services or a promise of particular treatment outcomes. For current clinical offerings and appointment availability, contact Sunridge Medical.
