“We push the limit every day in regards to medical care and quality of life,” he says. “Thanks to research, we are seeing new developments at a rapid pace. This allows us to provide the best care for both patients and their families. Thinking about everyone when developing a treatment plan is important.”

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

He enjoys working with people whose primary goal is to help and guide patients. “The compassion offered by the CSNF team is truly unmatched.”

Dr. Telivala provides complete care for patients with cancer and blood disorders, including prostate and lung cancers, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma.
