Fairfax, Va. (Dec. 15, 2015) — Virginia Cancer Specialists (VCS), Virginia’s premier cancer care center with 40 years of service to patients battling cancer and blood diseases and a practice in The US Oncology Network, is pleased to announce the addition of four new physicians to the practice. Daniel G. Chong. M.D., Alina M. Huang, M.D., and Timothy A. McCarthy, M.D., are medical oncologists and hematologists, while Felasfa M. Wodajo, M.D., is a musculoskeletal tumor surgeon. With the addition of these new physicians, VCS can better meet the growing demand for its services throughout Northern Virginia as well as provide advanced care to patients with tumors and sarcomas of the bones, muscles and connective tissues, rare conditions that require highly specialized treatment.
“We are very excited to welcome these skilled cancer specialists to our practice,” said Gregory Orloff, M.D., practice president, Virginia Cancer Specialists. “Not only are we adding new expertise, enhanced services and fresh ideas in the areas of medical oncology and hematology, we are also expanding our service offerings to include treatment for musculoskeletal tumors and sarcomas, providing patients with these extremely rare conditions the opportunity to receive excellent care in a convenient, community-based setting.”
The addition of Dr. Wodajo will allow Virginia Cancer Specialists to serve the medical community as a regional resource for musculoskeletal tumors and sarcomas, which are uncommon and often misdiagnosed. Dr. Wodajo focuses exclusively on benign and malignant tumors of the bones, muscles and connective tissues in both adults and children. He has developed a reputation for excellence in diagnosis and surgical outcomes for these rare conditions, and he has more than ten years of dedicated experience in the highly specialized field of musculoskeletal tumor surgery. Dr. Wodajo received a B.S. degree in Biology from Princeton University, followed by a medical degree from University of California, San Francisco. He then completed an internship in General Surgery at George Washington University and a residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Howard University Hospital. His fellowship in Orthopedic Oncology was completed at the Washington Cancer Institute at Washington Hospital Center. Dr. Wodajo is board-certified in Orthopedic Surgery and has been consistently recognized as a Top Doctor in both the Washingtonian and Northern Virginia Magazine.
“High-quality, well-coordinated integrated care is extremely important to obtain successful outcomes when treating these rare musculoskeletal conditions,” said Dr. Wodajo. “Joining Virginia Cancer Specialists allows me to collaborate with some of the most highly-skilled oncologic specialists in our region while providing patients convenient access to the full spectrum of cutting-edge treatments and clinical trials.”
