Sanjeet Dadwal, M.D., believes deeply in the mission of City of Hope® — a place where breakthrough research, leading-edge care and patient centricity all come together. “There’s no other place like it,” he says, “where care is both scientifically driven and deeply soulful.”
He was inspired to become a doctor at a young age, thanks to his uncle, a homeopathic physician who truly listened to his patients and cared for the whole person. “His level of compassion and dedication left an indelible mark on me,” Dr. Dadwal recalls.
Now at City of Hope Cancer Center Duarte, Dr. Dadwal focuses on helping cancer patients who develop infections, a common complication of treatments like chemotherapy and transplants. His research aims to better understand these infections and develop new ways to prevent and treat them.
Originally from India, Dr. Dadwal earned his medical degree there before completing his medical training at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York and Charles R. Drew/Martin Luther King Hospital in Los Angeles.
He has been part of City of Hope since 2005, where he leads many clinical trials and has published extensively in medical journals.
