Board-certified physicians David Smith, MD; Muhammad Siddique, MD;

practitioners who are experienced in treating an array of blood
disorders and cancer-related diseases. The practice currently has
two clinic locations: one in Easton and the other in
Centreville.
“Our goal is to provide the latest and advanced therapies to our
patients and deliver continuous support and resources to them and
their loved ones throughout the journey,” said Dr. Smith, medical
oncologist at Bay Hematology Oncology. “AON is a nationwide leader
and provider that offers practices like ours an integrated care
model, and through this partnership with AON, we can position
ourselves to improve our care services to ensure that our patients
receive the best possible therapies for their diagnoses.
Additionally, AON’s ingrained patient-first mentality aligns with
our practice’s care approach, and the company’s focus on ensuring
the success of community oncology practices like ours is
instrumental as we continue forward within the ever-changing
healthcare landscape. We are dedicated to our patients and commit
to delivering the best available care and therapies for their
diseases, and joining AON will help us with this ongoing
mission.”

network of community-based practices,” said Anthony Belott, AON’s
chief development officer. “This new partnership will strengthen
our commitment to providing high-quality and accessible care to
patients, no matter their location. The practice’s esteemed
reputation for excellence and patient-first care approach aligns
with our own, and we are confident that this partnership will be a
positive development for patients and the community.”
In addition to the current patient services offered, as part of
the AON partnership, Bay Hematology Oncology’s two clinics will
offer additional patient resources. Such resources include in-house
pathology services, enhanced in-house specialty pharmacy for oral
oncolytic medication and care coordination for patients among other
benefits. Patients can continue to expect the same high level of
care provided by the physicians and care team.
“Community practices of all specialties are the heart of
healthcare and beneficial to patients in all communities by keeping
care and services accessible and affordable,” said Todd Schonherz,
AON’s chief executive officer. “At AON, we strive to ensure
