Those mammograms and colon cancer screenings are important!

Preventive care is very important to me. I believe it’s the heart of medicine, because we can’t address what we don’t know. Growing up in a rural area in South Africa, I saw people go to the hospital only when they were very sick or dying. By then, it was often too late. That’s why I’m so ...

SHOA is growing! We have a new provider joining our Lawrenceville office starting Monday, August 11th, 2025.

Dr. Justin Woods is a board-certified hematologist/oncologist who graduated from medical school at Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!) and did his fellowship at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. He was first drawn to hematology/oncology in medical school because he was interested in exploring exciting new advancements in cancer treatments. He loves to hear about his patients, not just their symptoms, but also their lives! He takes a genuine interest in their health and wellbeing.

In his spare time, he likes to golf. He also enjoys music, hiking, traveling, and eating that amazing food his wife cooks!

He will be seeing patients in the Lawrenceville office only.

Let's welcome Dr. Woods to our family!

How to stay safe in the sun year-round

No matter what season it is, the best way to keep yourself safe from UV radiation is to stay out of the sun. Seek shade when possible. If this is not possible, avoid direct exposure whenever you can. Be especially careful to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when its rays are the strongest.
Other than staying out of the sun, experts recommend these ways to protect your skin from UV rays year-round:
• Talk to your doctor about any medications you’re taking that may make you more sun-sensitive than usual.
• Use an umbrella or canopy for outdoor activities when natural shade isn’t available.
• Wear sun-protective clothing that covers exposed skin.
• Apply and reapply sunscreen as directed on the label. Use it every time you go outside. Look for broad-spectrum sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 or higher. Remember to put sunscreen on your face.
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes, face, and head.
