From Dragan:
“Working in oncology, I really value the close relationships I form with my patients and their families. It is very special to make a difference in a patient’s life, and very rewarding to see the impact one can have. With new medicines and treatments evolving, the oncology field is also very exciting to work in because there is always something new.

At Auckland Oncology, we provide personalised care. We like to create a sense of familiarity for our patients by having them see the same specialist and nurses with every visit. We are truly passionate about making a difference in a patient’s life.”
