About Me

As a Nurse Practitioner on the surgical oncology team, Edward Dankyi believes in the patient-centered care that City of Hope provides. Dankyi joined City of Hope Atlanta in August 2016.

As part of the surgical team, Dankyi is involved in recommending, educating and providing care to patients based on their cancer type and personal preferences. “I work with the inpatient surgical oncology team providing postoperative care to patients coping with various types of cancers,” says Dankyi. “I educate patients and their families on what to expect postoperatively in terms of recovery process, pain control, nutrition and physical activities.”

He then obtained a Registered Nurse Diploma from Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing in Richmond, Virginia. Dankyi earned a second Bachelor of Science degree, this time in nursing from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. After years of experience as a registered nurse, he went on to earn a master’s degree in nursing with a specialty as an adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner from University of Virginia. Dankyi is certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center as an adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner.

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.
