I'm winning the battle thanks to the CBCC team and the correct mental approach. Dr. Patel's inspiration materialized here in Bakersfield in 1984 with the opening of a 1200 square foot, four-person office. By 1989, Dr. Alan Cartmell, who came to Bakersfield following a Medical Oncology Fellowship at Vanderbilt University, joined the practice.
