Renovated cancer clinic opens in Prattville

PRATTVILLE, AL (WSFA) - A newly renovated cancer center is now open in Prattville. Baptist Health and the Montgomery Cancer Center held a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday for the facility they are calling Montgomery Cancer Center Prattville.

The 15,000 square foot facility is in the Prattville Medical Park on Mcqueen Smith Road.

In addition to board certified doctors, there are 24 infusion bays for chemotherapy and immunotherapy, along with 10 exam rooms.

The facility will also offer financial counseling, chaplain services, and a state-of-the-art lab.

"For more than two decades, the Montgomery Cancer Center has provided support, hope and healing to its patients," said Susan Reed, administrator of the Montgomery Cancer Center. "Bringing this convenience to our patients in Prattville is truly a better service to our community's future needs.

Oncologists/hematologists Dr. Robert Avery and Dr. Naresh Bellam will serve the Prattville location. However, patients who see a Montgomery-based physician are still able to receive treatment in Prattville.
