About me

Dr. Jodi Jacklyn Lipof is a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in caring for patients with plasma cell disorders, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (a blood cancer). She is passionate about helping patients maintain their quality of life during treatment while also optimizing their results. She believes in providing patients with information based on clinical experience and research so they are empowered to make decisions that feel right for their lives and conditions.

In research, Lipof explores promising treatments for multiple myeloma, including T-cell therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific T-cell engagers.

Lipof earned her medical degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. She completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in hematology and oncology at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Clinical research fuels Lipof's hope for new treatment breakthroughs, but the long-term relationships with patients are what inspires her. She strives not only to fight multiple myeloma but to treat each patient as a whole person. She is committed to walking beside her patients on their unique journeys.

      I am a Physician, I've done many of these types of intakes. Dr. Lipof is one of the finest physicians I have met.Not only her knowledge, but her compassion, and communication skills. My wife is a trainer to high level executives, organizations and teaches relational interaction. She appreciated our consultants approach.
