At Texas Oncology, you can have both. With more than 210 locations across Texas, you don’t have to choose between expert care and staying close to family and friends. Because at Texas Oncology, we understand that surrounding yourself with support can also work wonders. Texas Oncology says that virtual appointments have been working very well for them. They launched this format in the past, but federal and state policy chnages because of COVID-19, have allowed. VSee support staff hours are from 6AM-6PM PT (Mon-Fri).
