Dr. Nedal Darwish is a hematologist and oncologist who combines rigorous scientific training, strong clinical skill, and a deep commitment to caring for patients as a whole. He completed his fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at Rochester Regional Health and his residency in Internal Medicine at Arnot Ogden Medical Center, and serves as an Adjunct Clinical Instructor at Lake Erie College of Medicine.

He spent several years as a research associate at NYU School of Medicine and SUNY Upstate Medical University and has published in journals including Heart Rhythm, The Rheumatologist, and the American Journal of Gastroenterology. As first author, he led a study on how immunosuppressive therapy affects mRNA vaccine response in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis, presented at the EULAR congress in Copenhagen. Most recently, he was first author on breast cancer research presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, evaluating a new screening approach that pairs high-sensitivity thermal imaging with physics-based modeling of heat transfer to detect the temperature changes produced by malignant tumors.

Dr. Darwish believes the best care comes from real partnership with the patient and making modern treatments available in a community hospital setting.
