Julie Oda, MD

Julie Oda, MD, is a triple board-certified hematologist and oncologist at District Clinic – Hematology & Oncology in Henderson, Nevada, and is dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centered cancer care grounded in innovation, collaboration, and trust. She believes every patient deserves the same level of care and advocacy she would want for herself or her loved ones.

A strong advocate for advancing cancer treatment through research, Dr. Oda has a special interest in clinical trials and innovative therapies. Her passion for clinical research is deeply personal. Participation in a clinical trial ultimately led to her father's cure, an experience that profoundly shaped her perspective on medicine and reinforced her commitment to expanding access to cutting-edge treatment options. Whether through emerging medications, novel technologies, or personalized treatment strategies, she is driven by the pursuit and application of innovation to improve outcomes and tailor care to each individual patient.

For Dr. Oda, the most rewarding aspect of oncology is helping patients achieve their goals of care. She values the relationships she builds with patients and their families, taking time to understand their motivations, priorities, and personal definitions of success. By working together through every stage of treatment, she finds great fulfillment in celebrating each milestone with them and in helping them navigate the challenges of a cancer diagnosis with confidence and support.

Dr. Oda's communication style is grounded in compassion and clarity. She believes effective care begins with mutual understanding and strives to ensure patients always feel informed and included in decision-making. Through open, honest conversations about diagnosis, prognosis, treatment options, and goals of care, she empowers patients to make decisions aligned with their values and individual circumstances.

She is committed to delivering evidence-based care without ever losing sight of the human side of medicine. Dr. Oda’s goal is to provide personalized care that addresses not only the disease itself but also each patient’s unique needs, hopes, and concerns.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Oda treasures time with her daughter and finds joy in experiencing the world through her daughter's fresh eyes as she grows and discovers new things. She loves sharing her passions for reading and travel, but some of her favorite moments come from discovering new hobbies together. Whether it's cookie decorating or another creative pursuit, she enjoys learning, exploring, and creating lasting memories with her family.
