About Me

Amy Hakim, M.D., is a surgical oncologist at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of gynecologic cancers. Her clinical practice is complemented by her research into the links between women’s cancers and human papillomavirus (HPV), as well as the role that the HPV vaccine plays in screening and prevention of certain gynecologic malignancies – an area in which Dr. Hakim has published several studies. 

Dr. Hakim earned her medical degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii, followed by further gynecologic oncology fellowship training at multiple institutions, including Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, City of Hope and the University of Texas Medical Branch–Methodist Hospital in Galveston and Houston.

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.
