Phillip Roberts, M.D.
Dr. Phillip Lee Roberts, is an oncologist and the medical director of the Phoebe Cancer Center at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, GA. Serving southwest Georgia cancer patients for nearly 30 years, he was recently honored with the dedication of Phoebe Putney's new cancer pavilion as the Phillip L. Roberts, M.D. Cancer Pavilion.
A graduate of the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia, Dr. Roberts completed his residency at William Beaumont General Hospital in El Paso, Texas, and a fellowship with Thorndike Memorial Lab, Harvard Medical Unit, Boston City Hospital, in Boston, Mass. He began his practice in Albany in 1980, at a time when there were few oncologists south of Macon. Since that time, he has continued to treat patients in Albany, as well as traveling weekly to clinics in outlying rural areas, where access to health care is still limited and unattainable due to economic and social roadblocks.
Board certified in Internal Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Roberts specializes in oncology-hematology, with clinical interests in lymphoma, leukemia and cancer prevention. In addition to his numerous affiliations, he is a founding member of the Southwest Georgia Cancer Coalition and has served on its board of directors since its inception.
