Leonardo Farol, M.D., is a board-certified hematologist with advanced training in bone marrow transplants. He is part of the City of Hope®/Kaiser Bone Marrow Transplantation Team, where he helps patients receive lifesaving treatment with expertise and compassion.
Dr. Farol studied medicine at the University of California, Irvine, and completed his training in internal medicine in Evanston, Illinois. He then went on to New York University for a fellowship in hematology and oncology, followed by specialized training in bone marrow transplantation at City of Hope.
Originally from Southern California, Dr. Farol is grateful to return home after years of medical training across the country. He values building trust with patients and believes open communication is key to quality care. His goal is to treat each patient with the same care and respect he would give his own family.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Farol enjoys staying active through daily CrossFit workouts, which help him manage stress and maintain both physical and mental strength.
