After being diagnosed with cancer, I was terrified of treatment side effects, and was hesitant to start. Dr. Price worked with me to develop a plan that didn’t get in the way of my treatment, and one that my oncology team was comfortable with. I did great, and with minimal side effects. Specific nutrition played a huge role in my recovery and now in my survivorship.
For over a decade, Dr. Price has actively served cancer patients and teamed with oncologists in cancer centers in the Pacific Northwest including Swedish Cancer Center, Multicare Cancer Center, Northwest Specialty Clinics in Hematology and Oncology, to deliver excellent, holistic care.

She practices with care, and compassion.
