What does a radiation oncologist do? A radiation oncologist diagnoses and treats cancer with radiation using imaging technology. #VCAPets #PCCA Meet VCA West Coast's Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Beatrix Jenei. ... Why did you choose to become a Radiation Oncologist? I was a general practitioner for 5 years when it started bothering me that my knowledge was limited to help my patients with the most devastating diagnosis of cancer. I truly felt that many of my cancer patients did not have the opportunity to receive the required treatment that would have helped them feel better and enjoy more quality time with their loving families.

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all who serve, and have served, our country! #vcapets

We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
