About Manmeet Singh Ahluwalia, MD

Medicine is more than a profession for Dr. Ahluwalia; it is a calling. “Medicine combines scientific discovery with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives,” he says, enjoying the intellectual challenge just as much as he does the human connection. Dr. Ahluwalia chose oncology because it demands “clinical expertise, compassion, resilience, and the ability to build deep, trusting relationships with patients and their families.”

“I consider it a privilege to care for my patients,” he adds, “and to be part of their journey through diagnosis, treatment, and healing. Their courage inspires me every day.”

It is this opportunity for connection that makes Dr. Ahluwalia’s work feel meaningful, and it extends beyond his patients. RCCA embraces a team-based model of care that emphasizes collaboration between a wide range of specialists including surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and more. Oncologists also maintain close partnerships with external care centers.

“This approach to care ensures that patients have access to the highest levels of care,” says Dr. Ahluwalia, “and that we can offer specialized resources when needed.”

RCCA oncologists also work closely with their clinical research team. Dr. Ahluwalia regularly participates in clinical trials, which allow patients to benefit from cutting-edge new therapies while contributing to research. In his words: “Commitment to innovation means that our patients benefit not only from today’s best practices, but also from the potential treatments of tomorrow.”

When it comes to innovation, now is an incredibly exciting time in oncology. Advances in targeted therapies and personalized medicine are transforming the ways in which cancer can be treated, creating new options to treat and cure diagnoses that were previously incurable. Dr. Ahluwalia is able to bring these innovations directly to his patients. “Seeing them regain hope and strength is the most rewarding part of what I do,” he says.

He also takes the time to help patients understand their options. Cancer treatment can be overwhelming, with many new terms and concepts. By educating and answering questions, Dr. Ahluwalia helps patients feel more confident and engaged with their treatment.

“For those newly diagnosed with cancer,” adds Dr. Ahluwalia: “You are not alone. We are here to guide you through every step, offering not just medical care but true partnership, clarity, and compassion.”

Dr. Ahluwalia’s Philosophy

“My philosophy of care is centered on the whole person. I believe every patient deserves a treatment plan that reflects not just the best available science, but also their individual goals, concerns, and life circumstances. I take the time to listen, to understand, and to ensure that my patients feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their care.”
