Dr. Markian Babij is board certified in naturopathic oncology and recently worked for two years at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa, OK. He completed a one year oncology internship after completing his Naturopathic training in 2002. He focuses on a collaborative approach while working directly with a patient's existing medical team. Dr. Babij partners with his patients to facilitate a customized treatment plan that is both practical and safe. This patient-centered approach to cancer care emphasizes the importance of weakened systems in the body. Dr. Babij's philosophy facilitates wellness and improved quality of life for patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation. Dr. Babij focuses on education and promotion of the innate ability to heal in each patient in all stages of disease. In practice, he focuses on the use of dietary/lifestyle counseling, botanicals, amino acids, and other non-invasive medicines that do not impede the effectiveness of conventional care. While treating side effects associated with cancer care, Dr Babij will consider all aspects in a patient's life to promote optimal strength in the fight against cancer.
