About Me

Aaron Scott, M.D., is a surgical oncologist at City of Hope® Palmdale, where he cares for patients with a wide range of cancer types across Southern California. Dr. Scott is dedicated to offering expert surgical treatment with a focus on compassion, respect and understanding, listening to each patient’s goals and concerns and creating a personalized care plan that fits their unique needs. 

Although he originally studied physics in college, Dr. Scott switched focuses to medicine because he wanted to make a direct impact in people’s lives. He earned his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, completed his general surgery training at the University of Iowa – where he also served as chief resident – and received advanced training in surgical oncology at City of Hope. 

Dr. Scott’s research has been featured in many medical journals and covers topics including rare tumors of the pancreas and liver, as well as how biomarkers can help guide treatment for small bowel tumors.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
