Dr. Bijoy Telivala is board-certified in medical oncology, hematology and internal medicine, and practices at our Southside location. Originally from India, Dr. Telivala received his M.B.B.S from Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College.  He then earned his Doctor of Medicine from Temple University in Pennsylvania, where he remained for his hematology/oncology fellowship.

Aside from his love for his patients and patient-care, Dr. Telivala finds the oncology/hematology field incredibly motivating.

“We push the limit every day in terms of medical care and quality of life.  We are seeing new developments at a very rapid pace,” he says. “A cancer diagnosis is life changing for everyone involved, so I believe that the best care is about evaluating and helping, not just the patient, but the entire family. Everyone and everything needs to be taken into consideration.”

During his time in medicine, Dr. Telivala has learned to listen and talk with his patients. “I’ve learned to become their guide, friend, and advocate. Cancer is a difficult journey, and each patient is unique; I’ve learned to respect that.”

Dr. Telivala loves working with a group of doctors, nurses, and support staff who share the primary goal of helping and guiding patients.

“The compassion and empathy offered by the team as CSNF is truly unmatched.”

When not at work, Dr. Telivala enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, and playing table tennis and bridge.
