About Me

Kalust Ucar, M.D., is excited to offer his patients innovative cancer therapies that can improve their quality of life. He is inspired when patients who once needed a wheelchair can walk again. In 2007, Dr. Ucar received a Values in Action award from Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center for exhibiting dignity, collaboration, justice, stewardship and excellence in his cancer care.

Fluent in Armenian and Turkish, Dr. Ucar studied medicine at Istanbul University in Turkey. Moving to the U.S., he performed research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York and then joined SUNY as an intern, resident and fellow in endocrinology. Dr. Ucar specialized in oncology and hematology as a fellow at UCLA, where he was nominated for a teaching award and went on to become a faculty member.

His hobbies include reading, golfing and sailing.

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.
