Frequently Asked Questions
For any additional questions, please contact me directly at drcarolhaddad@gmail.com
01. What Philosophies Do You Practice/Believe In?
I believe in implementing a variety of modalities to help recover from disease and restore health to all systems of the body. These include conventional medical approaches such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery and pharmaceuticals, allied health approaches including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and complementary therapies including acupuncture, massage, natural therapies, diet and lifestyle changes and psychological services.
02. What Can I Expect During My Medical Consultation?
Consultation takes place by video-conference. The consultation begins with a series of questions that assist me in getting to know your background and current circumstances. A review of your medical tests results and treatment to date will be made.
Following this assessment, a formulation of individualised recommendations will be provided based on the information gathered. Appropriate referrals will be made if necessary and links to further information provided.
Note from Dr. Carol: At the moment, I am not accepting any new patients for 1-on-1 medical consults. I am in the process of hiring another Integrative Oncologist, but in the meantime, I recommend you continue with your oncologist’s treatment plan, and complete my Integrative Principles of Cancer Care program (Updated 12/12/24).
03. Is There Anything I Should Prepare For My Medical Consultation?
It would be ideal to have all test results available in report form including any imaging tests such as x-rays, CT, MRI, PET scan results, biopsy results, operation reports, and histopathology reports prior to the consultation.

05. Do you ever advocate for taking a purely holistic/natural approach to treating cancer, forgoing any conventional treatments?
No. As an Integrative Oncologist I firmly believe that implementing an Integrative approach, which includes conventional medical treatments, is the best form of care we have available today. Although I am compassionate to the reasons why one would be attracted to the approach of going all natural, I encourage those to speak with me first to better understand exactly why I strongly recommend the Integrative approach for treating cancer.
