“I chose to go into hematology/oncology because it’s a constantly evolving field that can encompass every other subspecialty. I truly enjoy the relationship I build with you, and strive to be comforting, hopeful, and honest. I believe that ensuring you’re as comfortable as possible, combined with an open line of communication, and an accessible environment, will all help provide the best treatment experience. With my access to clinical trials, I have the ability to give you an up-to-date approach. I treat every case differently. My approach is never routine, and catered specifically to you.”

  • "Since December 2025, Dr. Canavan has been treating my dad. From day 1 he’s been nothing but kind, very knowledgeable (he explained everything so well) and has given my dad the kind of care I didn’t even think was possible. We had a previous experience with a different doctor that gave us no hope and wasn’t very nice but Dr. Canavan was the complete opposite. Thanks to Dr. Canavan, my dad is thriving and doing great almost a year later. It’s always a pleasure to speak with him and he never rushes us and is very patient with our many questions! lol Thank you Dr. Canavan for everything you are doing for our dad and for caring as much as you do for all your patients! You truly are the G.O.A.T!!!! With sincerest gratitude, Ramon, Jasmine and Stephanie Echevarria"
