About Me

Tanuja Bhandari, MD, is a radiation oncologist with almost 20 years of experience in her field. Dr. Bhandari treats patients with a wide range of cancer types at City of Hope® Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center, with extensive experience in using brachytherapy, image-guided radiation therapy and intraoperative radiation therapy—an advanced technique that delivers a single, targeted dose of radiation during breast cancer surgery, often eliminating the need for multiple post-surgical treatments. 

Dr. Bhandari earned her medical degree at the American University in Coral Gables, Florida, and completed her residency at Allegheny General Hospital, a Drexel University affiliate and home to the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

Before her residency, Dr. Bhandari pursued an internal medicine internship at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, a Johns Hopkins University affiliate location. In addition to her clinical training, she holds an MBA in healthcare management from the University of California, Irvine.

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.
