About Me

“The environment and culture at City of Hope are conducive to healing,” says Dr. Vivek Iyer, Medical Director of Pain Management and Interventional Pain Management Specialist at City of Hope Phoenix. Dr. Iyer joined City of Hope in March 2015.

Dr. Iyer earned his Bachelor of Science in Molecular Genetics at The Ohio State University in Columbus. He completed his Doctor of Medicine at The University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine. After his internship at the The Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University, Dr. Iyer completed a residency in Anesthesiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by a fellowship in Pain Medicine at the same institution.

In 2007, he joined a regional pain management group in Ohio, where he provided anesthesia and other pain management care. He has worked with local hospitals and businesses to provide patient, resident and medical student education, along with other services. In 2015, Cincinnati Magazine named Dr. Iyer one of Cincinnati's Top Doctors in Pain Management. He also was named one of the Top Doctors of 2018 by Phoenix Magazine.

Dr. Iyer is board certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology. He is licensed to practice medicine in Ohio and Arizona.

At City of Hope, Dr. Iyer focuses on pain management for patients coping with all types of cancers and pain. He treats both acute and chronic pain, and specializes in surgery-related pain management. He has founded our Regional Anesthesia Program intended to dramatically reduce patients narcotic use after surgery.

“From nutrition to the physician presence to the collaborative effort among so many disciplines, it’s clear that City of Hope is ahead of the curve,” says Dr. Iyer.

When he is not at City of Hope, Dr. Iyer enjoys spending time with his wife and their son.

Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
