Dr. Yang is a doctor who really cares about his patients. He quickly responds to every communication in a detailed way. I've truly never had a Doctor more really interested in my total health and life and more willing to treat me in the best possible way, given my life circumstances which are clearly important to him. Dr. Yang is rare in that he really cares and goes out of his way to not only provide the best treatment but to be a really caring person. I consider him a trusted friend and he is always available when needed. He's one of the best you have. I am fortunate to be cared for by Dr. Yang

Good afternoon. Dr. Yang is just an amazing doctor. So confident. So, I mean, I'm just thrilled how he's handling my case. He listened to me, answered every question that I had. He's just great. I think the whole team is doing a great job in saving my life. No complaints from anyone. All the nurses that I've spoken with, everybody's treated me with great respect. I would recommend this hospital to anyone. I guess that's all I have to say. Thank you very much.

Dr Yang is a fantastic doctor and oncologist. Over the last few years, he has caught significant issues and acted on them with more urgency than any other doctor, including a blood clot and low iron levels. I really appreciate his urgency in taking action on these. He is also thorough in answering every question, including questions about helping me decide for myself what the best course of action is for me.

Dr. Yang was very reassuring. Dr. Yang reviewed results from a previous examination approximately a year ago and compared the two and provided a reassuring prognosis. I appreciated Dr. Yang's frankness and feel like I have good medical care and will return to Dr. Yang should it be necessary.

My oncology team has been amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about them. They've treated me with nothing but respect. They did a great job managing all my symptoms and my pain, and I would highly recommend them. It's been a very positive experience overall, especially being diagnosed with stage four cancer. They've made it a very seamless process for me.

Dr. Yang is always a pleasure to work with on this and he was particularly well prepared this time because I had some other, I think, unrelated health issues and he seemed to know quite a bit about them. So he read my record and was quite up to date. So I appreciated that.

I can't even find the words to describe Dr. Yang. Exceptional doesn't even feel like enough. He called me twice on a Friday evening (same day as appointment) to share results, treatment plan and to tell me all medications had been called into pharmacy. He, by far, is one of the most caring and brilliant doctors with whom I've worked. He is the example of what every doctor should be striving for with exceptional care. I am very thankful to be in his care. I know he's going to carry me through a very frightening diagnosis. Thank you isn't even enough.

Dr. Yang was fantastic. He clearly and carefully explained my red blood cell situation in a way that i had not been able to understand. Other providers, who are not specialists in this area, had not been able to do that for me. Dr. Yang also said he would review future blood tests to make sure they are as he expects and are on track.

My visit with Dr Yang was a detailed explanation, using the last twelve years lab results as evidence, of why I did not need to see a hematologist. He was direct, articulate, and convincing. Of course I did not refer myself to hematology, my PCP did, and little of what he said shed light on the symptoms I have experienced over the last few months. Dr Yang was right of course. He could have delivered the same information in an email to my PCP.

I was being seen by a different oncologist and came here looking for a better experience. Dr. Yang was amazing in every way. He studied my chart prior to the appointment and did a rundown before we discussed a treatment plan. He was informative of each plan of action so I could make the best decision of how to move forward. He was humble and supportive of the entire nursing team that he works with. I went from a horrible experience at a different practice to one that would be almost impossible to top.
