About Me
I’m a medical oncologist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine. I specialize in GU (or genitourinary) cancers, which include cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidneys, and testicles. As a researcher, I’m very interested in experimental therapeutics and clinical trials. I’m particularly focused on evaluating both their effectiveness and their safety. I believe in combining state-of-the-art treatment with compassionate care, which is why the OSUCCC – James is the ideal place for what I do.

I feel we have been blessed with having Dr Monk on this cancer treatment.
Dr. Monk took the time to read my blood work. Day of my appt. he called me late that evening to discuss a blood issue. We came up w/a plan. Amazing dr.
Dr. Monk, his nurse practitioners, and his nursing staff always show concern for me.
SUch a privilege to be treated by Dr. Monk, his staff, and all of my care givers.
Dr. Monk is the greatest.
Dr. Monk went over the scans, not just the narrative. He took all the time we needed to have.
Didn't give all details about possible upcoming new medicine; side effects, caretaker & patient responsibility - was told to look up on internet. Doctors & NP always seem in a hurry.
Paul Monk is excellent.
Best oncologist I've met.
Drs. Mont & Markin along with the staff have been outstanding! They have for certain help save my life!
Dr. Monk and his team are amazing.
I had many concerns & they walked me through it & made me feel much calmer.
I have the utmost respect and confidence in Dr. Monk's skills and am confident he has my very best interests in mind.
Thought my Doctor could have been more positive and somewhat reassuring
Appreciate the opportunity to speak with Dr. Monk's intern who finished his PHD with a focus on prostate cancer. Dr Monk has always been thorough, kind and genuine.
