Care Philosophy: Individual Care, placing patients first while providing cutting edge, innovative approaches that improve outcomes.

Care Philosophy: We believe that each patient touched with cancer has unique concerns, fears, aspirations, and personal dynamics. We strive to address each of these. We also understand that while quality of care is (and should be) of paramount concern, that cost of care is an important concern. As an independent (ie, non-hospital affiliated) practice, we can offer best-of-care treatment at costs typically much lower than that of the local hospitals.

Care Philosophy: Dr. Machado is a board-certified Oncologist and Hematologist with more than 10 years of experience.

Although chemotherapy is still frequently employed, he is excited to share new targeted and immunotherapy options with patients. Dr. Machado earned his medical degree with honors at Saba University School of Medicine in the Caribbean and undertook his residency training at the University of Florida/Shands Hospital in Gainesville, where he was named Chief Resident.
