Valley Cancer is expected to be fully operational with its $8 million state-of-the-art treatment center within two to three months in Spreckels Park.Construction of the 32,000-square-foot facility on nearly three acres of land located near other medical offices began over a year ago that involves three separate buildings – one, an imaging center that is already open and operated by Doctors Hospital of Manteca and a second reserved for medical offices.The third and main building now nearing completion in Spreckels Park is two stories high and is designed to offer medical oncology and chemo therapy services. A concrete vault with six-foot-thick walls on the west side of the building now houses a linear accelerator and other state-of-the-art radiation equipment.Dr. Amarjit Dhaliwal, M.D., has spearheaded the development of the oncology center that is designed to serve much of the South County. He has been in practice with Dr. Robert Levy for the past 10 years associated with the Modesto based Valley Cancer Medical Group.
