About Benjamin T Gielda

About the Provider

Every day, I am blessed to make an impact on the lives of my patients. That is what I find most meaningful in my work, and it is why I became a physician specializing in radiation oncology.

Before any treatment starts, I take time with patients to come up with a plan that they feel comfortable with and best fits their situation. Nothing moves forward until we are both satisfied with the treatment plan.

Due to the nature of my specialty, I have the privilege to follow patients for extended periods of time — from consultation through treatment and follow up. In this time, I get to know patients on a deep level. The greatest moment of joy I feel as a provider is when I see positive response to treatment. Witnessing my patients improve their health and quality of life gives me a sense satisfaction that I cannot put into words.

    Dr. Benjamin is a doctor that listens any question you have about anything he always takes time to listen. He’s never in a hurry and that is amazing, and his bedside manners are so polite, joyful, and funny, and I’d love to thank him for all that he’s done for me if it wasn’t for him and the staff like I said before I wouldn’t be here today talking to you. They definitely know their job and they all were professional. Thank you so much again. 🙏🥰
