About Me

Amanda Blackmon, DO, is a blood cancers specialist at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte, where she focuses on diagnosing and treating leukemia. Inspired by witnessing a close family member’s triumph over leukemia, Dr. Blackmon decided to pursue a career in medicine, and hematologic oncology in particular. 

Dr. Blackmon strives to truly understand each patient’s story, listening with care and guiding them through their diagnosis and treatment plan. Her goals include advocating for her patients and advancing care for blood cancers such as leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma. 

During her training at the University of California, Irvine – where she also served as chief fellow – Dr. Blackmon earned the Dr. Padmini Ayer Award for Excellence in Hematology/Oncology two years in a row. She has presented her research at national meetings of the American Society of Hematology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. She has also contributed writing to ASH News Daily, a publication highlighting the latest advances in hematology.

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.
