Physicians from the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine began seeing patients in January at Siteman’s newest outpatient location in south St. Louis County.

Located at Interstate 55 and Butler Hill Road, Siteman Cancer Center–South County offers access to the same advanced treatments and technology available at Siteman’s main location at Washington University Medical Center.

“Treatment at a top 10 U.S. cancer center just got easier for hundreds of thousands of area residents,” says Timothy J. Eberlein, MD, Siteman’s director. “Along with convenience, patients at the new location will benefit from the world-class cancer care and outstanding research of our Washington University physicians.”

Multidisciplinary care provided by radiation oncologists, medical oncologists and surgeons will allow patients to see as many as three physicians in one trip. This team approach also means a patient’s treatment plan can be determined in one visit.

Bruce J. Roth, MD, professor of medicine, is director of medical oncology at the new location, and Parag J. Parikh, MD, assistant professor of radiation oncology, is director of radiation oncology.

Siteman’s two other satellite locations are in Creve Coeur at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital and in St. Charles County at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital. Appointments for any of the sites may be made by calling 314-747-7222 or toll-free 800-600-3606 from 8 am to 4:30 pm CDT weekdays.
