I am a medical oncologist who specializes in treating cancers arising in the head and neck region. I received my medical degree from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, India and completed my internal medicine residency at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut. More recently, I completed my fellowship in hematology and oncology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. My approach to cancer care is to partner with my patients at each step in their journey and provide them with information from the latest research to help guide their decisions. My research is focused on outcomes and toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer. In particular, I’m interested in identifying biomarkers in cancer cells to tailor the care of an individual patient. In addition to my clinical work, I’m also an assistant professor in the Department of Medical Oncology and a member of the American College of Physicians, American Medical Association and American Society of Clinical Oncology. I enjoy the collaborative work culture at the OSUCCC – James and the ability to offer patients access to the latest promising medications through clinical trials. It’s truly a privilege to be part of a multidisciplinary treatment team that’s working together to achieve our goal of a cancer-free world.

At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the university requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their university responsibilities. As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Bhateja has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Patient Comments
You guys are the best.
Thank all of you
EXCELLENT CARE
Oncology staff has always been wonderful
I'm very happy with the personal attention by Dr. Blakaj and his team!
I asked about my chronic cough but never really received an answer on that
I drove hour and a half for a five minute visit. I did have another appointment the same day thankfully because I would have been upset if I drove all that way for a 5 minute visit with the doctor to be told everything looks good.
Dr. Priyanka Bhateja and her entire staff are all great to work with. Dr. Bhateja is very personable and very detailed in answering any concerns or questions I may have. She goes to great lengths to assure that I am at peace and understand all concerning issues.
Everyone is genuinely concerned with your treatment, recovery, and the quality of your life.
Dr. Bhateja and her staff are all awesome and took as much time answering our questions.
Straight talk, no sugar coating. Inspires total confidence in her competence.
