Your First Visit

First Visit

At the Mat-su Radiation Oncology Center, our goal is to provide our patients with the superior cancer treatment and care that they deserve, from the moment they walk in to our door for their first visit. Below we have provided more information on what you can expect from the first appointment with us at our local cancer center in Palmer, AK.

INTRODUCTION & PLANNING

To help us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, we ask that you complete our secure online patient form before your first visit. This form includes important information such as your medical history and acknowledgment of our privacy practices.

Complete Patient Forms Online

Filling out the form in advance helps streamline your check-in and ensures we have everything we need to begin your care.

Next, you and any of your family members or caretakers will meet with your physician and our medical staff to begin discussing your treatment plan.

We’ll go over the process of cancer treatment and the potential outcomes that can be expected. We’ll review how your medical history, family history, and current state of health influences the planning of your treatment, and take time to answer any questions that you may have.

We encourage you to ask any questions that you have, to ensure that you have all of the information you need.

SETTING UP YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT

Once we’ve finished with the first appointment, we will discuss additional scans and next steps as well as work with you to set up your next appointment so we can begin your treatment as soon as possible. Typically, treatment will be started within a few days of the first appointment.

    ALL of the staff at MSVCC have been *so kind* to me for my treatments. There's alot of people that truly care here and perform in the utmost of professionalism. Dr. Sollaccio at the helm is a compassionate, caring beacon that puts real meaning behind his words. He shows complete dedication behind his intention, which is unusual for many doctors who find it difficult to maintain that level of directness. Denali is a warm soul of compassion and does not mince words, she means everything she says and you can tell. Anthony and Christina exemplify the professionalism and efficiency to be emulated and they do it cheerfully. I can't say I'm actually "glad" to have a diagnosis that required me to come to this place 😉 but if it had to be, I'm glad for knowing such a pleasant and welcoming folks that hide nothing. ☺️

    Everything from day one was great not knowing anything about the process and what was yet to come. The staff, everyone there made us feel welcomed every step of the way. They answered all our questions regarding treatments and kept us well informed throughout the process. Treated everyone not just myself with care and compassion at every visit. The courtesy of the staff was excellent, as well as the comfort of their clinic. The quality of care I received was beyond excellent. Over all I would definitely recommend May-Su Valley Cancer Center to all my friends and family my experience here was excellent throughout the entire process.

    Dr. Sollaccio and his staff—Amy, Anthony, Christina, Cheyenne—all made an unpleasant situation more tolerable. I actually looked forward to seeing them twice a day during my radiation therapy for breast cancer. It’s so great to have such great cancer care in the Valley and not have to drive to Anchorage. We are really fortunate to have you here!

    I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, stage four. My doctor highly recommended the Mat-Su Valley Cancer center. I took his advice and went there. I had a couple introductory meetings as well as 30 treatments. I felt welcome and at ease every time I entered the facility. The friendliness and courtesy of the staff set a wonderful atmosphere which never changed. The focus of the staff is the care of the patient. I never hesitated to ask questions because the response was always positive and complete. My dear wife accompanied me for all sessions. She was made perfectly at home in the waiting area while I was having a treatment. When meeting with the doctor, she was always invited in to have firsthand knowledge of what was discussed. I am at a loss to suggest an improvement in the environment or care.

    I have nothing but good comments concerning my entire experiences with the Mat-Su Canter Center and staff. From my initial consultation through my entire treatment process I was treated with kindness, respect, and expertise. I would recommend this facility and staff to anyone requiring cancer consultation and/or radiation treatment.
