Dr. Mark D’Andrea has once again been featured on a prominent Houston Magazine. For the fifth consecutive year he has received the honor of “Top Doctors” from H Texas Magazine. This comes as no surprise to his bevy of satisfied patients.
Dr. D as he is known to his patients knows that there is more to being a board certified radiation oncologist than just finding a cure for cancer. He treats each patient like a member of the family, and works with them to create customized treatment plans that reduce tumors and cancers along with their side-effects. He has dedicated his life to working to find a cure for cancer, and holds several patents for devices that can deliver treatment to patients.
He knows that cancer doesn’t just affect patients, but their whole family, and is on-site to answer any questions or concerns families and other loved ones may have regarding diagnosis. Fully committed to eradicating cancer, he is opening up a new University Cancer Center (UCC) facility in the Greater Heights area of Houston. UCC operates facilities all over Houston, and Dr. D personally visits each and every one to ensure that patients get the white-glove treatment they deserve.
He also spearheads Texas Medical Charities (TMC), which is a charity that offers support and guidance to those who are currently fighting cancer and their loved ones. TMC was created by cancer survivors, along with the knowledge provided by Dr. D to help each and every patient, regardless of financial status. It is a non-profit organization that provides transportation, addresses concerns and keeps patients up-to-date on the latest treatments as well as providing access to clinical trials.
H Texas Magazine has been essential in offering Houstonians a unique experience within their city since 1995, and each year debuts a list for its viewers on the best of the best in a variety of different industries. Editors are in charge of searching the huge metropolis for worthy candidates located in the Houston area. The exclusive notoriety that comes with being a “Top Doctor” is that readers and other doctors in the area have the opportunity to poll them, so the list is defined not just by editors, but by Houstonians everywhere.
Being praised as a “Top Doctor” isn’t just another accolade for Dr. D to collect – he is truly humbled by the honor bestowed on him by the community. “Each and every year I am closer to finding a cure for cancer,” Dr. D says. “It isn’t me who deserves the honor; it’s each patient out there fighting cancer and surviving each day and living it to the fullest.”
Dr. D stands behind his innovative treatments and it shows. His success rate for fighting cancer is impressive, as well as his tenacity and bedside manner. We have no doubt that Dr. D will continue to have a successful year and we look forward to his nomination in 2016.
