Pooja N. Bhakta, D.O.

Pooja N. Bhakta, D.O., is a dedicated medical oncologist and hematologist committed to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based care for patients with cancer and blood disorders. Her passion for oncology was shaped by both a lifelong interest in medicine and a deeply personal experience caring for a family member with cancer. That experience reinforced her belief that exceptional care extends beyond treating disease—it includes understanding each patient’s goals, values, and what matters most to them during life’s most challenging moments.

Dr. Bhakta believes in building strong, trusting relationships with her patients and their families. She strives to ensure every patient feels heard, respected, and actively involved in decisions about their care. By explaining complex medical information in a clear and approachable way, she helps patients navigate their treatment journey with confidence and understanding.

With a focus on both hematology and oncology, Dr. Bhakta is passionate about staying current with the latest research and advances in cancer care. She enjoys caring for patients with both benign blood disorders and cancer, tailoring treatment plans to each individual’s needs while offering the most effective therapies available. Her approach emphasizes treating the whole person—not just the diagnosis.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Bhakta enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, staying active, and exploring new restaurants. She values lifelong learning and brings that same commitment to growth, compassion, and excellence to the care she provides every day.
