M.D.
Medical Oncologist and Hematologist
Oncologist and hematologist Sarah Ali, M.D., was drawn to cancer care by both the complexity of the science and the chance to make a real impact in people’s lives. She’s passionate about advocating for her patients at City of Hope® Mission Hills and is deeply committed to treating each person with the same compassion and respect she would want for her own family. Her approach centers on personalized, empathetic care tailored to each individual’s needs.
Before joining City of Hope, Dr. Ali cared for patients at several hospitals, including Ventura County Medical Center in California, Valley View Hospital in Colorado and Franciscan Health in Indianapolis, where she also led the Supportive Care Clinic. Her dedication to oncology and patient care earned her Franciscan Health’s patient-nominated Healing Hands Award, as well as a spot on the physician-selected Top Doctors of Indianapolis.
Outside of work, Dr. Ali finds balance in nature, values time with her family and takes part in integrative wellness-focused group activities like meditation and mindfulness retreats. She’s also a proud dog mom, sharing her pup is a daily reminder to live with joy and enthusiasm — something she brings into every patient interaction.
