About oncoMD and the Founder
A Whole-Person Approach to Cancer Care.
Evidence-Based Integrative Oncology Consulting
Bridging conventional cancer care with scientifically-validated integrative therapies to optimize your outcomes and quality of life.
Facing a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and navigating treatment decisions is one of the most challenging journeys a person can take. Drawing upon years of clinical experience, Dr. Tejash Patel provides virtual, expert-level consulting for individuals navigating a cancer diagnosis. At oncoMD, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between cutting-edge conventional cancer treatments and supportive, natural therapies.
Our Approach & Mission
We focus purely on safe, evidence-based lifestyle modifications, nutritional guidance, and supplement evaluation that complement—never replace—your primary oncological treatments. Our mission is to empower you to become an active partner in your care while strictly ensuring safety and seamless alignment with your main oncology team.
What is Integrative Oncology?
Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, science-backed field of cancer care. It safely combines traditional treatments (like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery) with evidence-based complementary practices, lifestyle adjustments, and nutritional science.
The goal is not to replace your primary oncology treatments, but to enhance them—supporting your body's resilience before, during, and after cancer therapy.
The areas we can guide you on include:
Diet/Nutrition
Cancer-related fatigue
Exercise and cancer rehabilitation
Cancer-related pain
Medical Cannabis Evaluation and Certification
Emotional distress/stress
Insomnia and sleep dysfunction
Mind/Body interventions
Cancer Survivorship
Acupuncture, acupressure, and massage

Tejash Patel, M.D., is a double board-certified specialist in Medical Oncology and Hematology, bringing over 25 years of clinical expertise to the field of cancer care. He retired from clinical oncology in 2025 and subsequently founded oncoMD out of a deep realization that while modern conventional oncology has significantly improved patients outcomes, patients need an expert clinical ally to safely guide them through nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and supplement safety. Through virtual consultations, he provides patients with the specialized, data-driven strategy they need to thrive during their conventional therapies and into long-term survivorship.
