About Dr. Vernon:
Dr. Vernon is a radiation oncologist and serves as the medical director of the Southwestern Vermont Regional Cancer Center. His clinical interests include the treatment of lung, breast, and prostate cancers, though as a practitioner in a community cancer center setting he enjoys the challenge that comes with treating a broad range of cancers as opposed to a single focus. Though not all treatment options are feasible in smaller community clinics, he hopes to expand the modalities available to his local patients. He trained primarily in the Midwestern US, completing his MD at the Medical College of Wisconsin, followed by residency in radiation oncology at the University of Minnesota. He began practice as one of the first providers under the new affiliation between Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Southwestern Vermont Healthcare in 2013. Outside the clinic he enjoys hiking, principally in the Adirondacks, though he recently met a long-term goal of summiting Kilimanjaro. He runs marathons and enjoys travel abroad, especially in Africa and in Latin America.
