Cancer and Blood Specialty Clinic is a medical oncology and hematology practice that serves patients in the Long Beach and Los Angeles metropolitan area. The practice was founded by Vu Phan, MD and is dedicated to providing quality care to their patients and to promoting healthy communities. 

"At Cancer and Blood Specialty Clinic, we are committed to delivering quality care and measuring and improving outcomes for all our patients," said Dr. Phan. "We needed to find a technology partner that could seamlessly implement medical records in our practice without disrupting too much physician time for training, and produce high-physician acceptance.
