Eric Nesbit, MD finds Radiation Oncology to be a fulfilling specialty because it combines compassionate, face-to-face patient care with cutting-edge technology and anatomic problem-solving. Radiation Oncology allows him to provide personalized treatment for patients that matches their goals and values with state-of-the-art cancer care.
Dr. Nesbit is trained in specialized radiation techniques including MRI-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) and adaptive radiotherapy, as well as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Dr. Nesbit grew up in the Portland area and is excited to return to the city with its incredible access to hiking, cycling, and skiing. Outside of work, he enjoys cycling, skiing, and exploring all that Portland has to offer with his wife and daughter.
