About Dr. Naifa Lamki Busaidy
My clinical expertise and research interests are focused on endocrine and metabolic effects of cancer therapy. I have served as PI or collaborator on various trials evaluating metabolism in cancer patients. These investigations have included effects... of metabolism on the cancer and its therapies and response rates.
Having served on various panels and done research in that arena, coupled with well-established collaborators in a research environment that contains other funded investigators who are doing complementary research helps to assure that these research goals are accomplished.

Very caring team! So thankful for them!
I've been very pleased with this provider. She takes her time and explains, but you know what's going on, and I just think she does an excellent job. My only concern at all is sometimes there's a lot, quite a wait after your scheduled appointment, but this time there wasn't.
Hi. I loved that this provider was great at helping me with cancer care, but I answered lots of questionnaires and lots of questions about other health concerns, and she made it pretty clear that that's not what she was there for, which is fine, but why ask me about those...
Love Dr Busaidy but this time I had to wait a long time for not a lot of time with the actual dr. My appointment was at 2:45. I was early and upset over the long day of tests so the nurse put me In a room at 2:30. An assistant came In around 3:30. Went over some tests and...
