About Me

In December 2019, Dr. Deepa Bassi joined City of Hope as a Pathologist. Board certified in anatomic pathology and clinical pathology, Dr. Bassi is dedicated to providing accurate cancer diagnoses. At City of Hope, she works with a multidisciplinary team and analyzes test results to help recommend appropriate cancer treatments.

At the Phoenix hospital, Dr. Bassi works in the pathology laboratory to evaluate, diagnose and review laboratory tests and tissue samples. Dr. Bassi definitively diagnoses disease (or lack thereof) when either a biopsy or surgical resection is removed from a patient at City of Hope. Test results help the care team diagnose and stage cancer, plan treatments, monitor the disease, review treatment progress and track patient health.

“In my role as a pathologist, I work behind the scenes and serve as a guiding hand for the surgeons and oncologists,” says Dr. Bassi. “During surgery, I am responsible for commenting on the adequacy of the material obtained, the clearance of the tumor with negative margins and accurate diagnosis. Identifying and classifying disease is a vital component of the City of Hope multidisciplinary approach to patient care.”

Dr. Bassi received a medical degree and a post-graduate degree in pathology from Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India. Following her graduation, she moved to the United States and completed her first year in anatomic and clinical pathology residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. Dr. Bassi completed her residency in pathology at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York, New York, then completed a fellowship in surgical pathology at the same hospital.

Throughout her career, Dr. Bassi has been published in several research publications and provided presentations on her work. She is an active member of professional organizations, including the American Society for Clinical Pathology, American Medical Association and College of American Pathologists.

In addition to her work, Dr. Bassi is passionate about cooking, traveling and hiking. She also enjoys spending quality time with her family.

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.
