Medical Oncology Associates of San Diego: New La Jolla Clinic Opening
On February 3, 2025, Medical Oncology Associates of San Diego (MOASD), an esteemed independent oncology practice in Southern California, inaugurated their fifth cancer care center in beautiful La Jolla. This expansion is not just a physical site but a testament to MOASD's commitment to provide high-quality cancer treatment and a more accommodating experience for the residents of San Diego County.
The recent opening of the La Jolla clinic is in partnership with the respected oncologist and hematologist, Dr. Sabina Wallach. This collaboration enhances MOASD’s ability to offer a comprehensive range of services, from diagnostics to ongoing treatment, while ensuring that patients have access to cutting-edge clinical trials right in their neighborhood.
In total, this modern facility, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by a passionate team of professionals, includes Dr. Marie Shieh, Dr. Heather Tracy, Dr. James Coggan, and FNP Michelle Davis, among others. The La Jolla center is poised to make a significant impact with its full spectrum of cancer care services, firmly positioning itself as a pillar of support for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Dr. Charles Redfern, the President of MOASD, expressed his enthusiasm for this new venture, stating, "We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Wallach in launching our La Jolla cancer care center. This facility offers our patients the best treatment options, conveniently located near their homes and workplaces. Dr. Wallach has a remarkable history of providing exceptional care, and together, we look forward to continuing to elevate the standard of care in our community."
The La Jolla clinic joins MOASD's already established locations across San Diego County, which include a primary facility on the campus of Sharp Memorial Hospital, featuring 20 infusion chairs. The ongoing expansion not only includes extensive capabilities for patient treatment but also signifies MOASD's resilience and dedication to combating cancer for nearly 40 years.
Since its founding by Dr. Fred Saleh, MOASD has built a solid reputation for compassionate, expert cancer care that prioritizes patient wellbeing. This newest location reinforces their legacy of excellence, drawing on a team of ten knowledgeable physicians, two Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs), one Nurse Practitioner (NP), and an impressive support staff of 62 professionals—all committed to nurturing and guiding patients through their cancer treatment journey.
In addition to in-person appointments and consultations, patients at the La Jolla Cancer Center can look forward to tailored services that cater to their unique medical history and personal preferences, alongside participation in innovative clinical trials that MOASD is known for.
As part of the nationwide OneOncology management services platform, MOASD enhances the effectiveness and quality of independent oncology practices, striving to empower communities by delivering high-value cancer care services. This groundbreaking opening in La Jolla will undoubtedly serve as a beacon of hope and advanced medical treatment for cancer patients in the area, reflecting MOASD's unwavering dedication to the health and well-being of its patients.
