A higher level of expertise in cancer care

Cancer isn't one disease. Every cancer, and every patient, requires a unique approach. At East Jefferson General Hospital, we have a team of oncologists who treat all types of cancers, helping EJGH set a higher standard in personalized cancer care.

Dr. Thomas Cosgriff is a Board Certified Oncologist, Medical Director of Oncology at EJGH, and is certified by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Dr. Lesley Meng is a native New Orleanian who was displaced by Hurricane Katrina and though she was successfully practicing medicine in Scottsdale Arizona, she desperately wanted to return and rebuild her practice here. Her commitment to her patients is remarkable. She is a Board Certified Oncologist and is in the process of acquiring MD Anderson Certification. Dr. Meng takes pride in seeing patients often within 24 hours of their initial phone call. She has done a great deal of cancer research and believes strongly in preventive and screening programs. Extremely active in the community, Dr. Meng is committed to EJGH providing the most innovative, effective and highest levels of cancer care possible.

Together, these physicians, along with our Cancer Care Navigators, give you a higher level of personalized and effective care.
