Independent cancer care, since 1979
Physician-owned for more than four decades — and why that matters to you.
Our story
Stuart Oncology Associates has cared for Treasure Coast families since 1979. We are independent and physician-owned — which means your doctors work with you, not for a hospital system. Decisions about your care are made in the exam room, by the physician who knows you, with the time your situation deserves.
Independence doesn’t mean isolation. We collaborate with the Cleveland Clinic Martin Health hospitals (Martin North, Martin South, and Tradition), HCA St. Lucie and HCA Lawnwood hospitals, and Tenet Florida Coast Medical Center for hospital care. And wherever you’re hospitalized among them, your Stuart Oncology physicians stay involved in your care — with records access through Epic and MyChart, so your treatment continues seamlessly between our offices and the hospital. We’re launching on-site clinical trials with a dedicated research coordinator, and we coordinate closely with the Cleveland Clinic, Moffitt Cancer Center, University of Florida, University of Miami, and other leading tertiary cancer centers in Florida on our patients’ care.
Our journey
A physician-owned practice opens its doors on the Treasure Coast.
Expanding to five offices across Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties — so care stays close to home.
Working alongside Cleveland Clinic, Moffitt Cancer Center, and the University of Miami on our patients’ care.
We’re launching clinical trials at our own offices, led by a dedicated clinical trial research coordinator.
Independent accreditation confirming our standards for safety and quality of care.
Still physician-owned. Still answering to patients, not a hospital system. Still putting patients ahead of paperwork.
What we believe
- Speed matters. We prioritize urgent cases and work to schedule new patients as soon as we can.
- Care should hold together. Treating you across our own offices — not scattered facilities — means fewer trips, faster answers, and a team always working from the same plan.
- Care in your language. Hablamos Español — ask for bilingual support at any visit.
- Paperwork shouldn’t get in the way of healing. From scheduling and records to insurance questions, our staff stays a step ahead of the logistics for you.
Accreditation
We are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) — an independent review confirming our standards for safety and quality of care.
