Sierra Nevada Oncology plans to open a radiation oncology clinic at 3476 Executive Pointe Way in Carson City, with patient consultations expected to begin in December 2026. The clinic will be led by radiation oncologist Dr. Brittni Usera and will use Ethos adaptive radiation therapy technology.
Why it matters
Patients seeking specialized cancer treatment often must travel, incurring added expenses and time away from work and family, so a local option could reduce those burdens for residents of Carson City and surrounding areas. The clinic's in-region presence may also widen access for patients in Northern Nevada and rural communities.
The announcement gives the clinic's street address as 3476 Executive Pointe Way and projects patient consultations for December 2026 and first treatments for January 2027. Specific patient volumes, capacity, and cost information were not disclosed.

Dr. Brittni Usera
Dr. Brittni Usera is a radiation oncologist with Sierra Nevada Oncology who will provide radiation oncology services at the new Carson City location.
The details

Timeline

January 2027: First treatments are anticipated at the clinic.
Roadmap
Adaptive radiation therapy platforms like Ethos allow treatment plans to be recalculated as tumors and surrounding anatomy shift during a course of treatment. Bringing that capability to a Carson City clinic places it within reach of Northern Nevada patients who would otherwise travel to larger centers.
Patients in Carson City and Northern Nevada who need radiation therapy may be able to receive care closer to home once the clinic opens. Those interested should watch for announcements on scheduling and referrals before planning consultations.
The takeaway
Local access to specialized cancer treatment can reduce the travel, cost, and time burdens that often accompany radiation therapy. Patients considering care should monitor scheduling and referral updates from Sierra Nevada Oncology as the clinic approaches its opening.
What happens next
Patient consultations at the Carson City clinic are expected to begin in December 2026, with first treatments anticipated in January 2027, and the grand opening details will be announced in the coming weeks.
