About Me

Mouchammed Agko, M.D., is a plastic surgeon who helps cancer survivors move forward by reducing or removing visible reminders of their cancer or its treatment. He is a nationally recognized expert in a variety of areas, including breast reconstruction, lymphedema treatment and cosmetic procedures that are designed to improve appearance, comfort and confidence in patients who have undergone cancer. 

Dr. Agko has completed advanced training programs in a wide range of fields, such as aesthetic surgery, reconstructive microsurgery and lymphedema procedures. He performs a wide range of breast reconstruction surgeries using implants or natural tissue, as well as reconstructive surgeries for the head and neck, limbs and the torso. He also treats both lymphedema and lipedema. While training in general surgery at the University of Toledo in Ohio, he earned the iCare Shining Star award for outstanding patient care, communication and respect. He also held a clinical practice and an academic appointment at Augusta University in Georgia. 

In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Agko is also a physician-scholar with more than 50 published studies in leading medical journals. His work includes a widely recognized 2018 study on a new surgical approach for lymphedema that was highlighted by a top cancer journal. He continues to focus on advancing the field so patients can benefit from the latest techniques and innovations.

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.

"Dr. Agko was absolutely amazing. He performed my lymphovenous bypass surgery and flat closure at the time of my mastectomy, and I could not be happier with the experience or the results. The outcome is wonderful, and his work exceeded my expectations. He was easy to talk to, truly listened, and made me feel comfortable expressing all of my concerns. I felt confident and cared for every step of the way, and I'm incredibly grateful for his skill and compassion."
