Leonel Alan Kahn, MD is excited to join RadiantCare as of May 2026.
Previously, he practiced radiation oncology in Atlanta, GA from 2018 through 2026, but is very excited to be back home in the Pacific Northwest
Dr. Kahn is an enthusiastic and committed physician. His skill sets are particularly suited to bridge the gap between the systematic processes of treatment planning and delivery versus the warmhearted nature of caring for cancer patients. He is a critical thinker and enjoys the process of assimilating scientific evidence with patient-specific factors to determine the best treatment decision. His experience has refined his ability to make decisive choices in the face of complex cancer care. He also establishes deep bonds with his patients, grounded in compassion and empathy. He thrives on the demanding nature of the profession in terms of learning and updating his knowledge base as the field constantly evolves. Importantly, radiation oncology is a field in which he feels endlessly honored and humbled to work.
He attended Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience (Summa Cum Laude). He then earned his medical degree from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon.
For his graduate medical education, he preformed an internship at Legacy Health System in Portland, Oregon and completed a radiation oncology residency at the University of California, Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center in Sacramento, California. He served as chief radiation oncology resident during his final year. He became board certified in Radiation Oncology in 2019.
Dr. Kahn was born in Louisiana, but raised in Eugene, Oregon. He has a young son, born in March 2026 and is enjoying being a father. Spending time with his son, walking his corgi dog, and cooking are the ways he spends most of his weekends. He is also very happily married.
