About Me

Tanyanika Phillips, M.D., M.P.H., earned her medical degree from the University of Rochester and completed a geriatric fellowship along with a Master’s in Public Health at Vanderbilt University. She then trained in medical oncology through a fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. 

Her passion is improving transparency in cancer research and care, especially for vulnerable groups. She focuses on helping patients who face challenges like limited access to healthcare, belonging to underrepresented communities, food or housing insecurity, lack of insurance, chronic illnesses or low understanding of cancer information. 

Dr. Phillips cares for patients at City of Hope®’s Antelope Valley location and is committed to making a real difference in their lives. “I am dedicated to providing high-quality care for vulnerable adults with cancer,” she says. “Finding new ways to deliver care and supporting policies that improve services are essential for better outcomes.”

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.
