George Hajjar, M.D., says watching his mother face the challenges of breast cancer inspired him to pursue training in medical oncology and instilled the importance of compassionate care. This makes him an ideal fit for City of Hope, which he calls, “the place where I belong.”
“It was my dream since childhood to become a doctor.”
Dr. Hajjar received his medical degree from Aleppo University in Syria and continued his training at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Before joining City of Hope, he spent a decade serving the community of Porterville, California at the Sierra View Cancer Treatment Center.
At City of Hope’s Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley practices, Dr. Hajjar handles all general medical oncology, with a special interest in gastrointestinal cancer. His research in the field has earned him awards from the American Cancer Society and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
City of Hope Santa Clarita provides the community with unparalleled care and innovative treatments close to home. The brand new warm and welcoming 8,500-square-foot facility offers multiple exam and treatment rooms for patient comfort and convenience, expanding access to City of Hope’s world-class level of care.
