About Me
Leonardo Farol, M.D., is a board-certified hematologist who specializes in bone marrow transplants. He is also a member of the City of Hope/Kaiser Bone Marrow Transplantation Team.
 
Dr. Farol attended medical school at the University of Irvine before completing his internship and residency in Evanston, Illinois. He completed a fellowship in hematology and oncology at New York University, and another one in bone marrow transplantation at City of Hope.
 
Dr. Farol grew up in Southern California and is glad to be back and closer to friends and family following his sojourns to the Midwest and East Coast. He says practicing medicine as a career is a special opportunity to connect and help people in a meaningful way, listening and responding to patients with specialized skills and knowledge. Communication is an important part of his practice, he says, and he’s honored that patients have entrusted him with their care. He strives to treat them as he would his own family.
 
When not in the office, Dr. Farol keeps himself fit with daily CrossFit classes. He believes that physical and mental health are important to a physician, and CrossFit allows him to relieve stress and get his blood pumping at the same time.
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.
