Dr. Bassel Nazha joined Piedmont Cancer Institute in July 2025, bringing broad expertise in hematology and oncology to care for patients with all types of cancers and blood disorders. He has a specialized clinical focus in genitourinary malignancies.
Dr. Nazha comes to us from Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute, where he was Assistant Professor and Associate Chief of Hematology and Oncology at the Midtown campus in a leadership role.
Personalized care is central to Dr. Nazha's approach. He takes time to understand each patient's life and values, partnering with them to design treatment plans that align with their goals. This commitment extends to offering the most advanced, evidence-based therapies.
With over 50 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Nazha has a robust research background and extensive experience as a principal investigator on clinical trials. He has also presented his work at leading conferences, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
Outside the office, Dr. Nazha enjoys traveling, staying active, keeping up with current affairs, and spending time with his wife and children.
Very caring Answered all questions me and my husband had and explained everything thoroughly.
Handles with care. Every one in the office from the receptionist to the nurses to the labs are very friendly and welcoming. Exceptional service, will definitely recommend to others.
Dr. Nazha is still in my opinion the most knowledgeable and compassionate Medical Oncologist in the Metro Atlanta area. Dr. Nazha hears me when I speak and takes into consideration my desires concerning my treatments and finds a balance between what is medically reasonable and the quality of life I want. As my disease progresses I feel comfortable with this journey I am on with Dr. Nazha as my medical guide.
He was so nice, because of the way he greeted us and he took his time in explaining my care and what would be my next steps in my care would be. He also answered any questions I had.
He's the Best, very understanding with his patience and explaining your test results where you understand him. Very patient with me as a customer. Very nice and polite with the customer always have the right attitude with me the customer. Like I said he is the Best.
I really love seeing Dr. Nazha as my hematologist because I genuinely feel like he actually cares about my health and wellbeing. He answers all questions with full details and makes sure that I understand everything that has been stated. He's a very kind person.
Dr. Bassel Nazha is awesome. He remembers you. He goes the extra mile. He actually took my sister's arm from the car all the way to the waiting room, never let go until she was seated in the waiting room and told her the nurse will be out to get her soon. Mind you we never told him she was going to his office on the 2nd floor. He listens and explains things.
Very good visit. Dr. Nazha listened to all my concerns. Offered options for me to choose from came up with a plan moving forward.
For myself being a new patient I felt very comfortable with the staff. I love the honesty that was given. I would highly recommend to the cancer institute in Locust Grove. Thanks for taking the time out to hear me as a human.
Dr. Nazha is very professional and he cares about his patients needs and concerns. He ask questions and I like that.
