Chandana Javvaji, MD

Biography

“I became a physician to reduce pain and suffering and was fascinated by the field of oncology because of the continual advancements in developing new treatments for many previously untreatable cancers. I know cancer is a difficult diagnosis for patients and I want to be there for them, help them understand the disease process, guide them through treatments, and provide support when times are challenging.

I joined June E. Nylen Cancer Center because I was impressed with the well-established, state-of-the-art cancer center and the excellent team of cancer care specialists. The nursing team and the support staff are friendly and highly efficient and our patient population is diverse, warmhearted and welcoming.”
