About Faisal Waheed Paracha
Professional Statement
Get To Know Me
I believe in providing personalized care to cancer patients using evidence-based chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy treatments.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, I try to develop a relationship based on trust and passion with my patients.
How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I like to bike and run on Dutchess county trails.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose oncology because I love to provide cutting-edge treatment to cancer patients in an empathic, patient-centered environment.
