About Me

As a survivor of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Vaibhav Agrawal, M.D., M.B.A., has a longstanding and deeply personal connection to both cancer care and City of Hope. Starting in high school and continuing through college, Dr. Agrawal spent his summers conducting research in City of Hope’s labs, excited about the potential of pursuing a career in hematology and oncology. He later returned to the institution during medical school to study bone marrow transplantation.

Dr. Agrawal earned his medical degree at Chicago Medical School, then went on to complete his residency at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. He pursued fellowships at both Indiana University in Bloomington and Stanford University in California. His current research is focused on enhancing the success of stem cell transplants and reducing the risk of graft-versus-host disease – a common side effect of stem cell transplantation

In addition to his medical degree, Dr. Agrawal also holds a master’s in business administration with a focus on health care law, administration and management.

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.
