Cone Health Cancer Center is part of Cone Health, which stands as one of the most comprehensive health networks in North Carolina serving people in Guilford, Rockingham, Randolph, Forsyth, Alamance, Caswell, and surrounding counties. 

At MedCenter High Point, the experienced providers offer the latest cancer treatment services available close to home, including medical oncology, chemotherapy, disease management, hematology, genetic testing, cancer screening, genetic counseling, melanoma surveillance, counseling for high-risk individuals, and a cancer survivorship program.

A 1988 graduate of the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Dr. Ennever went on to perform his residencies in internal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Shadyside Hospital, where he served as chief resident. He followed this up with a fellowship in medical oncology at Yale-New Haven Hospital, completing his training in 1995.

Dedicated to clinical excellence, the doctor is board-certified in medical oncology and hematology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Over the years, Dr. Ennever has built a reputation for effectively dealing with blood cancers or hematological malignancies, whether his work involved diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. In addition, he carries out informative seminars on oncology-related topics.

Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. A hematologist-oncologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of blood diseases and cancers such as iron-deficiency anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia, and lymphoma. 

Attributing his success to God, great patients, and a fantastic supportive staff, Dr. Ennever is the recipient of Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020), Top 10 Doctor – State (2014), Compassionate Doctor Award – 5 Year Honoree (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020), Patients’ Choice Award (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020), On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2020), and Patients’ Choice 5th Anniversary Award (2020).

Happily married, he and his wife, Sandra, have one daughter, Kelsey. They also have three cats and a very playful rescue dog, Lucy. 

Passionate about life, Dr. Ennever enjoys spending his time with his wife as well as going to Georgia Tech sporting events. If he is not at the games, he is watching the games on television. He has even been treated to a ride in the Georgia Tech “Rambling Wreck” mascot car for the school. 

Moreover, he loves swimming (having enjoyed a special vacation in Florida where he was training dolphins), working out, and trying to “stay young”. His secret “ultimate dream” is being on the Amazing Race reality television show, and his favorite professional publication is the Journal of Surgical Oncology.
