About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Hematology
  • Medical Oncology
David Draper, MD, was touched by cancer as a teenager, when his mother died from metastatic breast cancer.  This experience has led him to understand two principle components when caring for patients.
#1) Compassion and attentiveness are the keys to understanding a patient’s goals and needs.
#2) A physician needs to constantly be educating himself to ensure the best patient outcomes.

Dr. Draper’s ambition is to be exemplary in both endeavors.  He has been a dedicated physician working with TriHealth Cancer Institute since its inception.  He has been the recipient of several accolades including the Cancer Family Care Unsung Hero Award and The Good Samaritan Hospital Educator of the Year Award.  He has been featured in Cincinnati Magazine and has consistently been named a Top Doc since 2011.  He is the Division Director of Education for the Good Samaritan Internal Medicine Residency Program as well as the Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology for the TriHealth Cancer Institute.  He is involved in a multitude of research projects and has numerous publications and national poster presentations.

Dr. Draper’s areas of expertise include all gastrointestinal malignancies including:
  • Esophageal Cancer
  • GE Junction Cancer
  • Stomach Cancer
  • Pancreas Cancer
  • Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma)
  • Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma)
  • Colon Cancer
  • Rectal Cancer
  • Anal Cancer
Dr. Draper and his staff provide advanced, state-of-the-art cancer care in an optimistic and respectful environment.  His hope is to obtain optimal outcomes with empathy and kindness.
