Joshua Ellenhorn, MD, FACS

In addition to treating patients with cancer, Dr. Ellenhorn is a medical educator. In addition to his lecture engagements, he has been a Professor of Surgery at City of Hope National Medical Center, and he is currently a Clinical Professor of Surgery at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and an Adjunct Professor at John Wayne Cancer Center.

A published researcher and editorial board member of several surgical journals, he has participated in directing future cancer research, as a peer-review panel member at the National Institutes of Health.

A Los Angeles native, Dr. Ellenhorn earned his bachelor’s and medical degrees at Boston University, after which he completed his residency at the University of Cincinnati Hospital. He then did a two-year research fellowship at the University of Chicago, and then another two-year fellowship in surgical oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

Dr. Ellenhorn enjoys collecting antique military weapons, and loves to go target shooting with his 20-year-old son – who is a junior in college. He has three children. His eldest son and his middle daughter are both currently attending law school. Dr. Ellenhorn is a lover of Golden Retrievers, and hopes to raise another one someday – if, as he says, “our Chihuahua will tolerate another dog in the house.”
