About Me

Bradley Restivo, M.D., is a palliative care physician at City of Hope® Upland, where he helps patients with a wide range of cancer types and stages manage symptoms related to their disease and enhance their quality of life. 

Dr. Restivo has extensive experience addressing a wide range of cancer-related conditions, such as nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety and cancer-related pain. His approach centers on understanding the whole person — recognizing how symptoms affect daily life and developing a treatment plan that helps patients return to living fully. Dr. Restivo also specializes in advanced care planning, guiding patients and their families through conversations about prognosis, future planning and complex medical decisions with clarity and compassion. 

In his spare time, Dr. Restivo enjoys playing board games and exploring his love of cooking and baking.

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.
