Patients trust us to deliver the highest standard of care, while partners can rely on our expertise and collaborative approach to enhance their services.
Radiation Oncology
Our integrated model of medical oncology, radiation and surgical oncology under one roof offers a cohesive approach to care, ensuring streamlined coordination and communication between specialists and enhances the patient’s experience.
We provide comprehensive radiation oncology services including external beam radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery and brachytherapy. We are also one of the few radiation oncology groups to provide both adult and pediatric radiotherapy.
For our partners, this collaboration translates into improved efficiency and a global treatment approach, ultimately benefiting patients and the healthcare system.
Clinical Trials
Our commitment to cancer research since 1983 is deeply ingrained in our ethos as we understand that the treatments of today are only good enough for yesterday, not tomorrow.
By actively participating in cutting-edge research, we ensure our patients have access to the latest innovations in cancer treatment, offering them the best possible chance for improved outcomes and a brighter tomorrow.
Hematology
Our unique advantage of having over 60% of our oncologist’s board certified in hematology sets us apart and enables us to provide specialized care for patients with both benign and malignant blood disorders. We are the only team in Northeast Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to provide comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care for patients with acute leukemia, a rare offering in community and rural clinics across the country.
This expertise not only ensures patients receive specialized care tailored to their specific needs close to home but also enhances our hospital partners ability to offer in-depth care.
Surgery
We’ve added breast surgical oncology to our range of services because you deserve simple, seamless care.
For our hospital partners, this integrated approach means they can rely on us to provide a continuum of care, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond, ultimately benefiting both patients and the healthcare system.
Inpatient Care
Overseeing the care of patients in the hospital is a testament to our commitment to providing full-scale care. This dedicated attention ensures patients receive specialized treatment tailored to their needs.
For our hospital partners, this care management fosters better communication, and integrated patient oversight ultimately leading to improved care team coordination.

What our partners are saying:
Bob Crumb, Retired CEO
Partner
Manistique, MI
Green Bay Oncology has been a great partner. Their providers are friendly and responsive. When volumes increased we worked together to expand hours and staff. This has brought state of the art oncology care to tiny Manistique, Michigan and has helped our small community hospital grow and prosper.
Beth Schloegel, Senior Director, Oncology Services
Locum Tenens
Marquette, MI
We really appreciate the knowledge base of recent guidelines and treatment planning your physicians bring to our clinic. When we have had other locum’s in the past, this hasn’t always been our experience. We like the continuity of care our patients have if we need to send them to Green Bay for brachytherapy, they have usually already seen the physician and have some idea of what to expect from their visit down there. This is very helpful for those patients and puts them at ease. They fit in well with our staff here in Marquette and the patients all seem to appreciate the care they receive.
Niel Kleman, DO
Doctor
Sturgeon Bay, WI
I enjoy our partnership with Green Bay Oncology. Our patients greatly benefit from being able to receive cancer treatment up here in Sturgeon Bay. They receive excellent care and both clinics work hard to get patients seen in a timely manner. I really value the collaborative partnership between providers.
Dorene Dempster, MD
Doctor
Sturgeon Bay, WI
The quality of care that my patients receive is excellent, on par with major medical centers in large cities. Several patients have sought second opinions at those larger centers, only to return here as the centers have confirmed they are getting the best plan of care here through Green Bay Oncology. The oncologists make themselves available at almost a moment’s notice for a ‘curbside’ consult, or to answer a question about a possible referral or proposed therapy. They are kind and compassionate. We also appreciate them for their hematology expertise. They are actually a bit sad when they are ‘kicked out’ of the oncology practice at their 10 year survival anniversary, despite that being a celebratory milestone. This is a testament to their kind and compassionate care they have provided. I have no doubt that the on-site presence of Green Bay Oncology here attached to Door County Medical Center has helped contribute to our success, but more importantly has contributed to the overall well-being of many Door County patients.
Richard Hogan, MD
Doctor
Sturgeon Bay, WI
Because we had top rate, up-to-date excellent oncology services right here in our facility a patient started a new immunotherapy that had just been approved for treatment. It was so new that Green Bay Oncology was on the cutting-edge. We are greatly benefited by having quality oncologic care right here at Door County Medical Center. This is just one example of the many patients we have had cared for by Green Bay Oncology at the cancer center. Their presence here and the support of HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Cancer Centers has been incredible. For a small town like ours to have this kind of service right in our own facility is remarkable.
Andy Bertapelle, CEO
Partner
Manistique, MI
When GBO started providing cancer care with Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital in 2014, they were coming twice a month and have now grown to 3 days a week. Their providers are open and personable and because of their willingness to bring care close to home we have many grateful patients that are able to spend more time with family in their community.
Elisabeth Thomsen, Executive Director
Organization
North Region
The American Cancer Society values our partnership with Green Bay Oncology in serving cancer patients and their families in the community. Green Bay Oncology has been a valued partner with ACS in connecting their patients to American Cancer Society programs and services, including resources around cancer screening, prevention and early detection, as well as general resources for cancer care. Green Bay Oncology supports our local fundraising activities through sponsorships, speakers, media interviews on ACS priorities.
Jamison Buxton, CEO
Partner
Green Bay, WI
The Hemophilia Outreach Center is grateful that GBO is willing to contract with our organization to receive medical direction and adult hematology services from Dr. Matthew Ryan. His leadership and expertise are invaluable to our clinical operations and organization. He has taken the time to establish a deep connection and trust with our clinical team. This shines through the clinical care we provide. They continuously support our mission and join us in raising bleeding disorder awareness by highlighting the services individuals with a bleeding disorder can receive at a federally recognized hemophilia treatment center.
Kourtney Hamm, Executive Director
Organization
Upper Plains Region
As an organization focused on the quality of care and support of blood cancer patients, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has found that working with Green Bay Oncology Group has been such a wonderful experience and compliment to our work. They are innovative, wholistic in their approach, and are incredibly patient-centric. We have been able to coordinate educational and community engagement partnerships over the past couple of years, and I’m always more inspired and excited to work with the staff team.
Kelly Jefferson, President
Partner
Escanaba, MI
Our goal in providing oncology services at OSF St. Francis Hospital is to provide high quality, advanced oncology services close to home. We have been able to achieve this goal for many years because of our long-standing relationship with Green Bay Oncology (GBO). Their clinicians are highly respected in our community and by our medical staff. Given their reputation and the level of service they provide, we continue to see year over year growth in service volumes. In addition, because of GBO’s commitment to research, Upper Peninsula (UP) residents have access to cutting edge treatments that may not have previously been an option for them. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication to serving UP residents and look forward to continuing our relationship long into the future.
