Radiation Oncologist
Dr. Timothy A. O'Connor had the opportunity to work with grief expert and author Elisabeth Kübler Ross. His experience with her during the time she started her London hospice program led him toward the field of oncology. Her compassionate care for cancer patients inspired him, and he credits her with helping him to understand the relationship between life and death.
“Having empathy for what my patients are going through, and expressing that to them, is a vital part of their treatment.”
