“I chose to go into hematology/oncology because it’s a constantly evolving field that can encompass every other subspecialty. I truly enjoy the relationship I build with you, and strive to be comforting, hopeful, and honest. I believe that ensuring you’re as comfortable as possible, combined with an open line of communication, and an accessible environment, will all help provide the best treatment experience. With my access to clinical trials, I have the ability to give you an up-to-date approach. I treat every case differently. My approach is never routine, and catered specifically to you.”



Patient Reviews

  • "We have been seeing Dr Canavan since 2022 and he is very passionate and caring. How many Drs will call you on a Sunday? I highly recommend him, he cares very much about his patients and answer all your questions. Does not rush you. I feel he is the only Dr. I feel very comfortable with and one that I call trust. Can not forget his staff, they are great and caring as much as the Doctor. They treat us like we are family. Thank you Dr Canavan for being who you are."
