Our state-of-the-art infusion suites are conveniently located at our Howard Hughes and Torrance offices. Each suite is designed with patient comfort in mind. We know how important your comfort is during chemotherapy treatment, so we offer reclining chairs, beautiful views, open seating areas, and visitor chairs. Many of our patients enjoy spending time with others while receiving chemotherapy, and sharing the experience with others can relieve stress and provide great benefit to both patients and family members.

Our physicians and highly-skilled nursing staff are on hand at all times to care for your needs. Our nurses constantly ensure that you are comfortable and that everything is going smoothly during your infusion. They offer moral support, hugs and genuine interest in you and your family.

Even though the infusion centers treat many patients each day, patient waiting is kept to a minimum. We do everything within our power to welcome you, get you seated and start your treatment as soon as possible. Because of our desire to serve your needs quickly and efficiently, it is important that you arrive early or on time for your chemotherapy appointments.

When cancer treatment includes chemotherapy, patients have many questions. For the information and support that you will need, start your journey here.
