Vandalia Health Cancer Care Center welcomes new medical oncologist and hematologist

Davis Medical Center (DMC) Cancer Care Center, a comprehensive cancer treatment facility in Elkins, WV, is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Metlapalli Sravanthi to its team.

Dr. Sravanthi brings expertise in treating a wide range of cancers, with a special focus on leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), lymphoma and solid tumor cancers. As a hematologist, Dr. Sravanthi diagnoses and treats disorders such as anemia, iron deficiencies, autoimmune hemolytic anemias and hemochromatosis, among others.

Dr. Sravanthi earned her medical degree from Government Medical College, University of Calicut, and completed her hematology and medical oncology fellowship at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse NY. Her Internal Medicine Residency was completed at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education in Scranton, PA.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Sravanthi to our team,” said Michael Galloway, MD, Radiation Oncologist and Director of the DMC Cancer Care Center. “We’re very fortunate to have recruited a physician of her caliber. She provides outstanding patient care in medical oncology and hematology therapies.”

Dr. Sravanthi is a member of the American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Society of Hematology and The American College of Physicians.

Dr. Sravanthi will work closely with Dr. Galloway and the multidisciplinary team of oncologists, surgeons, nurse practitioners and support staff to provide comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of cancer patients.

She and her husband, Dr. Suma Kumaran, a nephrologist, have relocated to Elkins and look forward to the charm of a small town where best-in-class medical services are available.

“Her commitment to patient-centered care makes her a perfect fit for our cancer center,” Galloway added. “We are confident that she will have a tremendous impact on our patients and the community.”
