James O. Park, MD
Dr. Park is a surgical oncologist from University of Washington Medical Center who works with the pancreas cancer care team at SCCA.Patient Care Philosophy:
"I believe that there is no greater example of trust that a human being can place in another than that of a patient entrusting his or her life to the hands of a surgeon. Therefore, I treat and teach my trainees to treat every patient as if he or she were family.
"I strive to provide a very personalized management plan for each patient that balances the most current evidence-based treatment with the patients wishes and beliefs, recognizing that quality is just as important - if not more - as quantity of life."
