Carly King is a physician assistant providing supportive care and chemotherapy toxicity management for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies such as stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and esophageal cancer.

It is important to Carly that patients understand their diagnosis and treatment plan and know what to expect in terms of side effects and how the treatment may affect their quality of life. Cancer is a life-altering diagnosis and there is so much information to absorb while navigating treatment and procedures. She sees her role as helping to clarify the plan, answering questions and supporting the patient’s physical and emotional well-being.

Carly spends her free time running or hiking outdoors or being at home with a good book.
