Doctor Profiles

Dr. Keith Eaton: Physician and friend to lung cancer patients
Dr. Eaton enjoys helping his patients and their families through their cancer journey. “I try to get to know them and consider patient education to be one of the most important aspects of my work,” he says.

Dr. Renato Martins: Treats Patients with Care and Dignity 
Because SCCA's parent organizations are research centers, they also have the option to participate in clinical research of new and promising treatments. "If you opt for standard treatment, we are the best," Dr. Martins says. "If you want a clinical trial, we can offer unique opportunities."

Dr. Michael Mulligan: Thoracic Surgery With Heart
“You have to be passionate about what you do. You can be good at it, but if you aren’t passionate about it,” says Dr. Mulligan, you can’t bring the same level of care to your patients.

Dr. Shilpen A. Patel: Taking care of the whole family
Dr. Patel believes his patients should be treated as if they were family members. “I believe in informing patients with as much detailed information as they desire,” he says.

Dr. Douglas E. Wood: “My profession is a privilege and I hope to help better patients’ lives.”
Dr. Wood spends considerable time with his patients, discussing and decision making. “There’s no replacement for that,” he says, when you have lung cancer.
