Paul Lawrence Menzel, M.D.
Paul L. Menzel, M.D., is a board-certified radiation oncologist whose experience has ranged from a hectic New York emergency room to a research center in Sweden to a clinic in Nigeria.
Dr. Menzel specializes in treating a wide variety of cancers and benign tumors. He has extensive expertise with a broad array of radiation systems and treatment techniques, including Gamma Knife, CyberKnife, SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery), SBRT (stereotactive body radiotherapy)/SABR (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy), IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy), 3-D CRT (conformal radiation therapy) and brachytherapy.
Originally from Minnesota, Dr. Menzel spent time learning and training throughout both the world and the United States before landing in California for residency. He is thrilled to have joined the faculty at City of Hope.
