About Us
About Ramiah Oncology
At Ramiah Oncology, we believe that the fight against cancer demands not only clinical excellence but also a deeply human touch. Our mission is to offer an unparalleled standard of care that combines cutting-edge innovation with the warmth and empathy every patient deserves.
As a boutique radiation oncology practice, Ramiah Oncology specializes in providing advanced, personalized care. We offer a full spectrum of radiotherapy treatments, including stereotactic radiosurgery, brachytherapy (with expertise in prostate brachytherapy), and intensity-modulated external beam radiotherapy. While we treat a wide range of cancers, our practice holds a particular focus on prostate cancer, where our expertise shines.
Patients often arrive at our practice newly diagnosed, seeking guidance on their journey. Whether it’s crafting a tailored radiotherapy plan or coordinating with trusted specialists in surgery or chemotherapy, we ensure every patient benefits from a seamless, collaborative approach to care.
“Our priority is to deliver the very best evidence-based treatment while empowering patients to actively participate in decisions about their care.”
At Ramiah Oncology, excellence is defined not just by clinical outcomes but by the experience we create for each patient. Our practice is designed to provide a calming, compassionate environment, allowing patients to feel supported at every step of their cancer journey. This ethos is reinforced by a commitment to innovation, including ongoing research in artificial intelligence to enhance radiotherapy workflows.
Dr Ramiah brings a wealth of expertise to the practice, rooted in his dual roles as a clinician and an academic leader. As the Head of Radiation Oncology at the University of the Witwatersrand, he is deeply involved in training the next generation of oncologists while advancing research in precision medicine and clinical trials. His work reflects a dedication to marrying the art of care with the science of innovation.
At Ramiah Oncology, we see each patient as more than a diagnosis. Our shared vision is to walk this journey with you—ensuring that every decision is guided by your unique needs and preferences. We are also committed to fostering the future of oncology by cultivating a team that combines compassion with world-class expertise. Here, the promise is clear: to redefine what is possible in cancer care through humanity, innovation, and excellence.
