CBC Group - Consulting in Blood Disorders and Cancer, specializes in two areas of internal medicine - hematology and oncology. In simple terms, we are concerned with the diagnosis, study, and treatment of diseases of the blood (hematology) and/or tumors (oncology).

Dr. Marion F. Beard, the first hematologist to practice in the state of Kentucky, founded our practice in 1947. Our practice has expanded to include 12 physicians who specialize exclusively in the fields of hematology and oncology. You may read about the background, training, and qualifications of our physicians by going to the "Our Team" section of the web page.

You will find that the composition of our practice is unparalleled, as our physicians operate as a team in a rotating schedule. Patients who receive continuing care from our office will normally be seen and treated by the physician available. This permits all of our physicians to be informed of your medical problems.

Most unique to this team approach is a spirit of cooperation targeted at providing our patients with the best possible care in an honest, compassionate, and courteous manner. Our physicians consult with one another daily on mutual patients, a practice which offers our patient the advantage of multiple consultations and assures that a physician, familiar with their case, is available at all times; in turn, our physicians benefit from the peer-review inherent to this system.

We automatically furnish a complete report of each consultation to your personal physician. In addition, should you require reports to be sent to other consulting physicians, we will be happy to furnish a copy for them, as well.
