About Me

Mihae Song, M.D., brings both deep compassion and extensive global experience to her role as a gynecologic oncologist at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte. Dr. Song has delivered free medical care to expectant mothers in Pakistan, supported children with disabilities in South Korea and taught future physicians the fundamentals of surgical care. Throughout her career, she has earned numerous accolades recognizing her clinical and teaching excellence and she believes it is a privilege to work closely with women facing a wide range of gynecologic cancers. 

Fluent in both English and Korean, Dr. Song is deeply committed to women’s health. She specializes in both advanced abdominal surgeries and minimally invasive gynecologic procedures, tailoring care to meet each patient’s unique needs. Her passion for cancer care led her to City of Hope, where she works on advanced clinical trials that help bring groundbreaking therapies from the research lab to the clinic. 

Dr. Song received her undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York and her medical degree from SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn. She completed additional training with fellowships in health equity leadership and gynecologic oncology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

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.

"The provider could have asked for additional labs to be examined in advance of my appt which would have allowed her to provide me with medical advice on my situation. Instead she has to request additional lab analysis and call me back in several weeks' time to discuss my options."
