I was referred to Dr. Yang by my PCP. Dr. Yang is very thorough, personable, friendly and kind. I believe he is precisely the Surgeon that can address and treat my pulmonary findings. I am comfortable with his advise and treatment plan. He has an outstanding reputation and I can certainly understand why his colleagues believe this to be the case.
