The North Texas Cancer Center at Wise, one of the premier cancer care centers in the state, provides a variety of services to those battling cancer including a dedicated team of experts, a comprehensive treatment plan, and a variety of therapies that are tailored to each patient’s needs. To begin, says Dr. Gregory Echt, the founder and lead surgeon at North Texas Cancer Center at Wise, the center meets with new patients for a comprehensive examination and consultation during which tests may be scheduled.

“The relationship that we build with our patients is very important to us,” says Dr. Echt. “And this relationship starts from the beginning when we first meet with them and establish a rapport that is built on trust. We work with our patients to establish their needs throughout treatment, to build a treatment plan that works best for them and their diagnosis, and to make sure they understand that our team is with them every step of the way.”

The initial consultation at North Texas Cancer Center involves assessing each patient’s overall health, as well as ordering the tests that will allow the doctors to get a better handle on the patient’s diagnosis including type and stage of cancer. More than anything, the team at North Texas Cancer Center works diligently to establish a comfortable relationship with their patients in which questions can be asked and answered, and the next steps can be discussed openly. This is an important step in the center’s overall treatment plan for their patients.
