“The patient-centered approach at City of Hope is truly unique and special. Having all the specialties and supportive staff under one roof is like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” says Dr. Shahin Chowdhury, medical oncologist at City of Hope Atlanta.
Dr. Chowdhury earned a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri. He then completed an internal medicine internship and residency at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Grand Blanc, Missouri.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Dana College in Blair, Nebraska, where he graduated magna cum laude. He also earned another bachelor’s degree in physician assistant studies from Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas.
Before joining City of Hope, Dr. Chowdhury spent five years as a staff hospitalist in Rowlett, Texas. He then moved to Tulsa in 2011 to complete a medical oncology fellowship at our hospital in Tulsa (then known as Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA)) through Oklahoma State University, where he was Chief Fellow in his last year.
In July 2013, Dr. Chowdhury officially started working as a medical oncologist at our hospital in Tulsa. The following year, he joined City of Hope in Atlanta. His areas of focus are gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancers.
Since joining City of Hope, he says: “At City of Hope, I am able to coordinate appointments and ideas with other physicians who are all available under one roof. There have been multiple times where I’ve had a question or needed assistance, and everyone I need to speak with is available to assist me when needed. Most importantly, having everyone under one roof enables us to deliver integrated services and provide answers to patients quickly.”
Dr. Chowdhury belongs to several professional organizations, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Osteopathic Association and the American College of Osteopathic Internists.
Dr. Chowdhury is an avid soccer player and fan, and enjoys hiking, sightseeing and wildlife. He and his wife, Farrah, a pharmacist, have two sons.
- Patient ratings
- Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
