DR. ANUDH K. JAIN

Specialists at Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute are dedicated to making their patients’ journey from cancer diagnosis to survivorship as harmonious as possible.

Anudh Jain, M.D. is the newest Radiation Oncologist Specialist on staff, having joined the Cancer Institute team in June. Born and raised in the New York/New Jersey area, Dr. Jain earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, Valhalla, N.Y. He completed his radiation oncology residency at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. A board-certified radiation oncologist, Dr. Jain has a special interest in prostate, breast, and skin cancers.

The Cancer Institute provides a Cancer Care Navigator Program and Social Services Program to work closely with physicians to provide you with comprehensive medical, organizational, and emotional support.

The Cancer Care Navigator Program consists of two highly skilled, registered nurse navigators to guide you through your entire treatment and recovery process—from prediagnosis to completion, including any treatments by physicians outside of Florida Hospital Waterman.

The Social Services Program consists of a licensed oncology social worker who assists patients and their families with the emotional and practical challenges that often occur with a cancer diagnosis.

“I think having the navigators and social worker provide a benefit because the patients have a constant person from the beginning to the end of treatment,” said Dr. Jain. “The patient may see a number of different doctors for different treatments, which can be very confusing.”

Dr. Jain affirms it helps to link everything together.

“Our support services benefit the patients from a psychological standpoint and from a medical standpoint, because they get everything done faster, so there are no delays,” said Dr. Jain. “If those delays extend out, it could compromise their care and outcome. It is important to manage treatment in a timely manner.”
