I was drawn to City of Hope because of the opportunity to advance patient care in a collegial, multidisciplinary environment. I strive to forge strong partnerships with my patients based on clear communication and believe that patients who are informed about and engaged in their health care have strong outcomes.

In July 2022, Dr. Youssef Soliman joined City of Hope in Phoenix, Arizona. As a Gastroenterologist at City of Hope, Dr. Soliman collaborates with other cancer experts on a multidisciplinary team to evaluate and treat patients fighting cancers specific to the gastrointestinal tract, helping them create a personalized treatment plan customized to their needs and goals. He's particularly interested in inflammatory bowel diseases and gastrointestinal conditions that may raise the risk for cancer.
“I love to learn new things and stay up to date with new advances and technology,” says Dr. Soliman, adding that he translates this love into ensuring that his patients are informed of the range of options available to them, “so we can work closely together in making decisions about their treatment and care.”
Dr. Soliman earned his medical degree from Saba University School of Medicine in Saba, Dutch Caribbean, followed by an internal medicine residency at Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, New York. He completed a gastroenterology and hepatology fellowship at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke, Virginia, where he specialized in gastrointestinal conditions and developed skills in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment techniques.
Dr. Soliman says he was drawn to City of Hope because he “wanted to work with collegial, multidisciplinary providers driven to enhance patient care,” adding that he is especially pleased to partner with a strong, growing gastroenterology team.
Outside City of Hope, in addition to spending time with his family, Dr. Soliman enjoys soccer, especially rooting for Liverpool FC.
