Alissa A. Thomas, MD

I care people with brain tumors, both primary and metastatic. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know my patients, what they value in their health care and what their goals are. I take time to work with them to find the best plan to meet their needs.One of the most meaningful parts of my work is helping patients understand their diagnosis clearly. It's rewarding to provide them with in-depth knowledge; I believe that when patients are well-informed, they feel more confident and empowered to make decisions about their care. I'm part of a dedicated, multidisciplinary care team, that includes experts in neurology, medical and radiation oncology, neurosurgery, palliative care, nursing rehabilitation services, social work and more. Together, we focus on treating the whole person — not just the disease — through a collaborative, team-based approach.
