About Me

Dr. Tami Carrillo joined City of Hope in July 2019. As an Interventional Radiologist at the Chicago hospital, Dr. Carrillo uses imaging to guide the diagnosis and treatment of cancer with minimally invasive techniques. She works closely with patients to offer a wide range of treatment options to address the patient's cancer and personal needs.

By using minimally invasive and innovative techniques, Dr. Carrillo helps to reduce risk and improve quality of life for patients. In addition, she uses recent advances in interventional radiology, including irreversible electroporation, radioembolization, chemoembolization, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation and vertebroplasty, to help reduce postoperative pain and improve recovery.

“My goal is for patients to feel uniquely cared for and respected,” says Dr. Carrillo. “I want my patients to feel they are receiving quality care and that they are informed and educated regarding their disease.”

Dr. Carrillo received a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology from Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri. She earned a Master of Urban Planning and Public Policy from the University of Illinois Chicago College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs in Chicago, Illinois, and a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. She then completed an internship in internal medicine at Loyola University Health System in Maywood, Illinois, and a residency in diagnostic radiology and a fellowship in vascular and interventional radiology at the University of Illinois Chicago Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.

Licensed in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin, Dr. Carrillo has an interest in clinical research and has contributed to several published articles and presentations. She is a member of many professional organizations, including the Society of Interventional Radiology, Radiological Society of North America, American College of Radiology and American Medical Association.

Outside of City of Hope, Dr. Carrillo likes spending time with her husband, three children and two stepchildren. She enjoys exercising, reading, writing and cooking. She is also active in her church, attending and volunteering whenever possible.

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.
