In 2021, he was elected as a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. His clinical interests include integrative oncology, palliative oncology and geriatric oncology. Dr. Atkinson has articles published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national conferences in the field of cancer care.It is commonly said that medicine is both an art and a science. In my experience, this is absolutely true. Cultivating the artistic side of my practice is therefore extremely important to me. In my spare time enjoy painting, Dr. Atkinson said.
