“My general approach is that I truly put myself in my patients’ shoes and try to see the world from their point of view and on their behalf,” Dr. Kojouri says. “I have a good listening ear and a complete approach to patient care as a whole, taking care of the medical as well as the social needs of my patients.”

Dr. Kojouri has a special interest in research after receiving a master of public health in epidemiology from the College of Public Health at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. His expertise will be beneficial in enhancing awareness of and access to clinical trials in use at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA).

He is pleased that Skagit Valley Hospital Regional Cancer Care Center has a formal relationship with the world-renowned partners in the SCCA.
 
“Patients want cutting-edge care, which, many times, is only available at academic centers. This affiliation puts us at the forefront,” he says.
