Oncologist, entrepreneur embraces transformational mindset

Changing the status quo doesn’t keep Dr. Arie Dosoretz up at night.

Instead, his anxiety comes from when he doesn’t believe he’s doing enough to change the core of what’s been his career focus: delivering community-based cancer care.

Dosoretz, 39, is the managing partner with Fort Myers-based Advocate Radiation Oncology, which has five locations, four in Southwest Florida and one in Tamarac, Broward County. When Dosoretz and his founding colleagues launched the practice, in late 2019, the goals were to create a medical company where top-shelf customer service is a daily must-do; decisions on equipment and personnel are based on patient need first, not cost; and a place for people to get world-class cancer treatment where they live, without driving to Tampa or Miami or flying to Houston or New York.
