Overview
Dr. Tashkandi obtained his MD from Taibah University College of Medicine, Medina, Saudi Arabia. He completed a Research Fellowship in the Department of Pathology at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and a Pathology Residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he also served as Chief resident. He then completed a Hematopathology Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He recently completed a Molecular Genetics Pathology Fellowship at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Dr. Tashkandi’s clinical focus is to diagnose, prognosticate, and monitor hematologic malignancies, and to guide patient-specific therapy. His research interests include studying the morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic changes of hematologic malignancies and their impact on patients. He is also interested in minimal residual disease detection and molecular hematopathology education.

Patient Comments
0 patients rated this provider
The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.
Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.
