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 really appreciated the significant amount of time she spent with me. Only complaint is that she used some medical jargon I didn't understand.

      Dr Jodi Lipof is excellent. I've had many different Doctors in my life and she is a very bright light in the medical field. Gives me hope for the future of our floundering health system.

      Dr. Lipof is an absolutely amazing physician. She listens and cares, and gives incredible instruction and education along the way. I always leave feeling like I know a lot more about my circumstance and what to expect moving forward. I never feel rushed. I always feel listen to and that she is giving me her full attention. Dr. Lipof is very knowledgeable and is able to explain things in a way that I can understand. I also appreciate the way she makes sure I understand what is going on with my care.
