About Me
Lawrence D. Wagman, M.D., is that rare combination of scholar-clinician (he has hundreds of peer-reviewed papers and research projects) and down-to-earth people person (he's a favorite on TV news shows, giving tips on cancer prevention). He's also a consummate surgeon with a long, proud record of achievement and leadership.
 
A graduate of New York's Columbia University-College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Wagman spent 20 years at City of Hope. For much of that time he served as chair, Division of Surgery, and director, Department of General Oncologic Surgery. Dr. Wagman then joined St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California, to run the new Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment.
 
Dr. Wagman returns to City of Hope following a decade at St. Joseph, to serve as a surgical oncologist for City of Hope | Upland and regional medical director for the Inland Empire.
 
Consistently rated one of "America's Top Doctors," Dr. Wagman specializes in the treatment of stomach, liver, bile duct and pancreatic cancers, as well as breast cancer, sarcoma and melanoma.
 
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.
