Dr. Yang is a great surgeon and always remembers me even though I only see him once every six months. He takes the time to discuss my overall health. He gives me the feeling that we are partners in evaluating my condition and planning care.

I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2019. Dr Yang performed robotic upper lobe lobectomy at that time. There was no need for chemotherapy or radiation. I now follow up annually with a CT of the chest and visit with Dr Yang.

Dr Yang was very informative and explained my condition after the surgery in a manner that I could understand and he also shared my expected progress as I begin healing.

Dr. Yang performed surgery on my lung to treat cancer. He is a big reason why I am alive today! He resected the portion of lung and any accompanying lymph nodes that were suspicious! He is a very gifted surgeon and I am honored and grateful for his expertise and kindness! He has a great sense of humor and always makes me smile! I am involved in a Clinical Trial that has specific requirements for follow up appointments so I am delighted to continue in his care!
