Schedule an Appointment

Except in the case of an emergency, Salem Oncology Centre requests that patients schedule appointments to see Dr. Salem.  Please telephone 713-796-1221 between 8:30 A.M. and 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, to schedule an appointment.

Please do not leave your city, state or country of origin until you have the following items in your possession to bring to Salem Oncology Centre. Also, prior to leaving your home, be certain that all financial matters have been discussed with our Business Office. The items you are to bring with you on your initial visit with Salem Oncology Centre are:

1. Pathology slides and paraffin blocks, as well as the pathology report. It is important to bring both the slides and blocks to enable a more accurate confirmation of diagnosis. Paraffin blocks contain additional tissue that is critical for special stains. These blocks are different from slides and do not break as slides sometimes do. It is a must that you bring both slides and paraffin blocks because it is important for pinpointing a very definitive diagnosis, which in turn, is essential for the planning of your treatment.
2.
All actual x-ray films and x-ray reports
3. All medical reports and documents
4. A recent medical report by your doctor
5. Insurance card
6. Financial Deposit (please see section on "Financial Information") or "Letter of Guarantee" from your Embassy or Government. Please do not leave your city, state or country of origin before you obtain financial clearance from our Business Office.
7. A list of questions or concerns regarding your condition
