Every patient who meets Dr. Ed Ashtar discovers a doctor who listens first and treats second. At the Canadian Specialist Hospital, where he serves as Senior Consultant, his clinical focus spans Medical Oncology and Clinical Hematology, guiding people through diagnoses that often feel overwhelming. Twenty years of practice have shaped an approach built on clear explanations and careful, individualized treatment planning. He earned his medical degree from Aleppo University Faculty of Medicine, graduating with a Diploma of Human Medicine with Honors, and holds Triple American Board Certification. Cancer Research remains a central thread in his work, keeping his care grounded in current evidence. Because he speaks both Arabic and English, families can discuss fears, options, and next steps in the language they trust most. Patients describe his manner as steady and honest, never rushed, always willing to answer one more question before decisions are made together.
