Urologist
Jeffrey S. Yoshida, M.D. recognizes that each of his patients carries a unique personality and background -- as does their cancer. For that reason, he believes that medical care should be customized and specific to the individual.
Dr. Yoshida received his medical degree from Loma Linda University. Soon after, he pursued a general surgery internship at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, followed by a residency in urology at Loma Linda. He completed a laparoscopic oncology/robotic surgery fellowship at City of Hope, where he was the first fellow ever to be trained in robotic surgery.
Before becoming City of Hope Orange County’s medical director of urologic surgery, Dr. Yoshida held a position as associate clinical professor at City of Hope. He also worked at Hoag Family Cancer Institute as the medical director of urologic oncology, where he was honored with an endowed chair in urologic oncology.
Today, Dr. Yoshida is excited to use the latest advances in robotic surgery and molecular imaging to ensure his patients receive the best care possible. He continues to earn renown as an expert in this gentler approach to removing tumors, which typically offers patients fewer side effects and faster recovery compared to open procedures.
In his spare time, Yoshida enjoys surfing and spending time with his family and their dog.
