VETERANS CARING FOR VETERANS “Your lab work has come back abnormal.” Those are words no one wants to hear, but that is exactly what retired LTC John Laugerman was told by his on-base primary care provider. When his primary care physician suggested that he meet with Dr. Stan Law, Urologist in Midwest City, John had an immediate feeling of relief. John knew of Dr. Law’s name and that he had previously been an Air Force physician. After visiting with Dr. Law and hearing the diagnosis of prostate cancer, John shared, “Dr. Law was very thorough and took a lot of time explaining all the different treatment options to me.” After their conversations, John chose to seek therapy from Dr. Christopher Bozarth, a Radiation Oncologist at Optim Oncology in Midwest City. John was treated with IMRT (Intensity-modulated radiation therapy,) an advanced mode of delivering precise radiation to a tumor. He received treatments, each lasting just minutes, over the course of 8-9 weeks. John felt the staff was professional and personal, treating him like family. He appreciated being able to stay close to home and receive the most up to date therapy for prostate cancer. Nearly 4 years out from his radiation course, John remains cancer free. Beginning in 2012, Dr. Bozarth and Optim Oncology became the first Oklahoma City facility to use the Calypso™ 4D Localization System for the treatment of prostate cancer. Even today, Optim Oncology is the only center in the Oklahoma City area offering this unique radiation targeting technology that works like a GPS system, determining the exact position and movement of the prostate during radiation therapy treatment - optimizing radiation targeting and minimizing side effects. Dr. Bozarth comments, “For men that choose radiation management of their prostate cancer, Calypso localization provides the most accurate, real time targeting and least amount of associated side effects. No other Oklahoma City facility offers this type of motion management technology.” Both Dr. Bozarth and Dr. Law are prior active duty military physicians serving patients right here in Midwest City. Each could have chosen any state to start their practice, but they love the feel of Oklahoma and especially Midwest City.
THANK YOU TO OUR VETERANS!
