What They Do

Your Care, Your Goals: Guided by Palliative Care Physicians
We know that patients and families often have many questions when considering palliative care. To help, we’ve gathered answers to some of the most common concerns about how palliative care physicians support you, your loved ones, and your healthcare team.
How is a palliative care physician different from my regular doctor?
A palliative care physician doesn’t replace your primary doctor or specialist. Instead, they work alongside your care team to focus on comfort, symptom relief, and making sure treatments match your personal goals.
Do I have to stop other treatments to see a palliative care physician?
No. Palliative care can be provided at the same time as curative or life-prolonging treatments. The goal is to enhance your quality of life while you continue the care recommended by your doctors.
What types of symptoms do palliative care physicians treat?
They help manage pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms that may affect daily comfort and well-being.
Who can benefit from seeing a palliative care physician?
Anyone with a serious or complex illness—such as cancer, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, or neurological conditions—can benefit. Care is tailored to patients of all ages and at any stage of illness.
How do palliative care physicians support families?
They provide guidance during difficult decisions, emotional support, and clear communication. Families are included in the care plan to ensure loved ones feel supported and informed throughout the journey.
