Dr. Irfan Firdaus, D.O.

Medical Oncology and Hematology • OHC—Specialists in Cancer and Blood Disorders

A

s an oncologist and hematologist, Dr. Firdaus is part of a multi-disciplinary team that treats patients who have been diagnosed with cancer or malignant or benign blood disorders.

OHC emphasizes patient-centric care. Patients come first. Patients receive accessible, efficient care designed to achieve the best possible outcome. That means good, costeffective, evidence-based treatments, Dr. Firdaus emphasizes.

“When a patient comes in, it’s often overwhelming for them,” Dr. Firdaus says. There is a tremendous amount of information to absorb and choices to make. “Not to mention they’ve just been told they have cancer a few days before,” he says.

To help them, patients meet with a nurse navigator who provides education, support and guidance during their treatment. Financial navigators are also available.

Patients are encouraged to participate in clinical research trials with the aim of improving their treatment and furthering oncology research.

Dr. Firdaus, who oversees the gastro-intestinal clinical research trials at OHC, believes strongly in furthering cancer research. He says that OHC patients have access to clinical trials that aren’t available otherwise.

Dr. Firdaus has been at OHC for 10 years. It is one of the largest independent oncology practices in the nation. There are more than 60 providers with offices across southwest Ohio, Indiana and northern Kentucky. They have affiliations with many of local hospitals.
