Cancer Care Specialists

What Cancer Care Specialists does

Cancer Care Specialists is a physician-led community oncology practice headquartered in Reno, Nevada, providing hematology, oncology, and radiation oncology services to Northern Nevada patients. Formed in July 2015 through the merger of Alpine Hematology-Oncology and Reno Oncology Consultants, the practice traces its operating lineage to 1978 and has cumulatively served 88,000+ patients. The care delivery model is vertically integrated, combining in-house laboratory services (via LabCorp), diagnostic radiology with advanced PET imaging (PSMA PET and DOTATATE PET — the only such capability in Nevada), radiation oncology using the Varian Edge Radiosurgery System and LINAC, theranostics and radiopharmaceuticals therapy (Lutathera, Pluvicto, Xofigo, I-131), a medically-integrated dispensing pharmacy for oral oncology medications, clinical research trials, behavioral health (via Collahealth), patient navigation, and telehealth (via Doxy.me). The care team comprises 9 physicians (Oncologist/Hematologists, Radiation Oncologists, Radiologist) and 6 nurse practitioners, supported by an administrative team including COO, CFO, and multiple operations managers.

The practice operates four physical locations across Reno and Carson City, including a dedicated imaging center and Personalized Radiation Oncology facility, and generates revenue through insurance billing across 20+ accepted plans including Medicare, major commercial carriers, and regional Nevada plans. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician referral networks with structured intake via Patient Care Coordinators, complemented by direct-to-consumer self-referral pathways and telehealth access. The company has HIPAA-compliant operations and uses Flatiron Health for its patient portal.

In 2022, Cancer Care Specialists entered a strategic partnership with private equity firm Levitate Ridge Capital and Cancer Center Oncology Medical Group (CCOMG) of La Mesa, California, forming a PE-backed platform intended to combine two physician-led oncology organizations, expand clinical capabilities and technology infrastructure, and acquire additional independent oncology practices nationwide. This positions the practice as a consolidator in the fragmented community oncology market rather than a single-region operator.
