Lance Uradomo, M.D., M.P.H.

Interventional gastroenterologist Lance Uradomo, M.D., M.P.H., listens carefully and thoughtfully to his patients to learn their problems, goals and fears. The lessons he learns from those exchanges are applied to developing a plan that will achieve the outcome that best meets their needs, including treatments that may enable patients to avoid surgery.

Dr. Uradomo’s medical training took place at George Washington University. At the same time, he pursued a Master of Public Health, during which he interned at the office of the U.S. Surgeon General. He then served as an internal medicine resident and a fellow in gastroenterology and hepatology at the University of Maryland, where he also received training in advanced endoscopy. 

Prior to City of Hope, Dr. Uradomo held assistant professor appointments at George Washington University and the University of Maryland. He has conducted investigations designed to improve outcomes in his field. In 2009, the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna tapped his expertise to help draft guidelines for the use of X-rays in gastroenterology procedures.

Raised in Orange County, Dr. Uradomo is a lifelong fan of Angels baseball who spends time outside of work with his wife and two children enjoying outdoor activities and travel.
