Weymouth, MA - Newton resident Claire Y. Fung, M.D., Medical Director of Radiation Oncology at Commonwealth Atrius Cancer Center in Weymouth, recently received the distinction of being named a best doctor in her field for 2009 to 2010.

Dr. Fung is board-certified in Radiation Oncology and holds staff appointments at South Shore Hospital, Quincy Medical Center, Jordan Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Fung also serves as the Vice President of Radiation Oncology at Commonwealth Hematology-Oncology, the largest community-based private cancer care group in New England.
