- About Me
Eric McCormick joined City of Hope® Cancer Center Atlanta in September 2021 as a Physician Assistant in the Urology Surgery Department, bringing with him more than 20 years of experience working in several specialties, including surgery, gastroenterology and interventional radiology.
At City of Hope Atlanta, McCormick provides comprehensive care for patients diagnosed with a range of urological cancers, including prostate cancer, bladder cancer and renal cancer. He assists in follow-up treatment and performs consultations for other urological issues, including hydronephrosis and urinary retention. In addition to overseeing patient care, McCormick also prescribes medications and performs preoperative evaluations.
“We must make connections with patients, supporting them, educating them and keeping them informed during their treatment,” he says.
McCormick earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Georgia State University in Atlanta before completing his Master of Health Sciences in Physician Assistant Studies at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. Licensed by the Georgia Medical Board and certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, he is a member of the Georgia Association of Physician Assistants.
Outside of City of Hope, Eric enjoys attending church, reading, watching sci-fi movies with his family and going on walks with his dog.
- Patient ratings
- Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
