About Me

Scott Goldsmith, M.D., is a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating blood cancers including multiple myeloma at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte. Dr. Goldsmith is also passionate about developing better therapies to treat the disease through conducting clinical trials and other research projects that bring lab discoveries into the clinic patient care. 

Dr. Goldsmith’s decision to become a doctor was shaped by his own experience receiving medical care as a teenager—and it continues to shape his approach to this day, focusing on listening closely to his patients, educating them about their treatment options and crafting personalized treatment plans based on their individual wishes and diagnoses. 

Originally from Florida, Dr. Goldsmith graduated with honors from the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville and earned his medical degree from the UF College of Medicine. He completed his medical training at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, both in St. Louis, Missouri. 

Dr. Goldsmith takes great pride in building strong, trusting relationships with his patients. He’s committed to improving outcomes for people with multiple myeloma—whether at the bedside, in the lab, or across the broader medical community.

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. Goldsmith's approach is typically holistic which I really appreciate. This particular visit was more narrowly focused on what he considers his specialty without recognizing that I was concerned the other issues I raised were somehow related to my diagnosis. It would have been helpful if he had simply reassured me that they were not related and the reasons why that is so."
