Cox Medical Center Branson has hired a new cancer specialist.
Dr. Hasan Bit-Shawish has already begun seeing patients. He said one of the biggest things he tries to instill in any of his patients is hope.
“I won’t let them give up,” he said. “There is always hope. Getting a cancer diagnosis is the hardest news they’ll hear, but I will work with them to make sure they know every possible option for treatment. I won’t give up on them.”
Dr. Bit-Shawish comes to the Ozarks from Pennsylvania. He said he is already loving the Ozarks because “it’s like I’m always on vacation!”
