About Me

“I feel blessed every day to have the privilege of applying my love for science, pathophysiology and clinical medicine to help improve the lives of both my patients and their loved ones.” 

Out of appreciation for working on complex cases, Michael Dittmar, M.D., specializes in internal medicine, considering every organ system from head to toe. He is a natural team leader — preferring to serve as primary physician for his patients, he keeps communication at the crux of his clinical practice. 

Dr. Dittmar earned his medical degree at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and pursued a residency in internal medicine at Los Angeles County+University of Southern California Medical Center. He received the Gold Humanism Honor Society Award in 2018 and was selected "Intern of the Year" during his residency in 2020. 

Growing up in the community around City of Hope, Dr. Dittmar saw the hospital as a beacon of light for patients facing adversity. His grandparents supported City of Hope’s mission through donations, and he is proud to carry on their legacy by joining City of Hope's family of doctors. 

Outside of work, Dr. Dittmar enjoys hiking the foothills, cooking for friends and family, playing basketball and exploring the diverse culinary culture of Los Angeles. 

 

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.
