Practice Philosophy:

I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and when I interact with patients and their loved ones, I understand that they are dealing with complex issues, looking for hope and need a physician who can help. I want to ensure that my patients have the knowledge they need to make the best decisions about treatment and care. In my practice, I use my training in areas such as molecular biology and genetics to help guide my decisions about a patient's care. There are far more treatment options available than ever before and I find it exciting to provide innovative, breakthrough care to my patients.

    It's clear doctor doesn't have much time in schedule when I see him, so appointment seems rushed. We don't have too much to discuss as I am stable. He is always pleasant. As long as I listen carefully I am able to get information conveyed.

  • Jan, 23 2026
    Dr. Masood went into great detail about my condition and even drew pictures and shared my PET scan with me so I could understand. He then discussed my treatment options in detail. He wrote down all the medications and even wrote down the trial and the type and subtype so I could go home and look up my diagnosis. He even discussed that he was going to ask the tumor board for their opinions. He even discussed the after care and wrote down the medication I would be receiving. I was even given a 24/7 phone number to use to contact the team with any questions or concerns. I feel very comfortable and well taken care of.
