Patient Reviews
Sep 07, 2023
Dr. Yang & his staff are wonderful! I don't understand why the reviews are so low. He is a wonderful surgeon & removed my husband's pancreatic cancer. He thoroughly explained the procedure on a marker board showing detailed drawings. He told us how many surgeries he performed & very was honest about the outcomes of the procedure. We could have gone for the Whipple procedure in La Jolla but we felt extremely confident choosing him for the procedure. He had the OR nurse inform me the progress throughout the surgical procedure. Then he called me immediately after the procedure to give me the results. He always had a wonderful demeanor, humorous at times & made us feel very comfortable that we chose him. His staff were always very friendly, efficient & prompt from the beginning of our cancer journey to our follow-up surgical appointments. We look forward to returning for our 6 month follow-up appointments.
