City of Hope is the perfect place for me to combine patient care with my research interests.
John Raytis, M.D., is a clinical anesthesiologist at City of Hope who is also involved in operating room management and research. He strives to provide “compassionate, evidence-based anesthetic care of the highest quality.” Dr. Raytis is a past winner of the City of Hope Values in Action Award (Service With a Sense of Urgency) and the hospital-wide winner of the 2019 Physician Excellence in Collaboration Medicine Award.
 
Dr. Raytis holds a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from the University of California Berkeley and a Master of Liberal Arts in biology from Harvard. He attended Keck School of Medicine of USC and continued his training at University of California, Irvine and Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California.
 
As a researcher, Dr. Raytis reaches across disciplinary lines. He partnered with a neurosurgeon in a groundbreaking study that showed how beta-blockers can reduce stress levels, potentially slowing the spread of breast cancer to the brain.
