Having a young surgeon who is clinically competent with knowledge of all innovative new techniques and technology is alway a plus, however; to be a kind, thoughtful, and full of patience with his patients is just a rare thing to encounter. I am forever grateful that he is my surgeon who looked out for me and ensured I have the best plan of care. I will go wherever he is practicing if he ever leaves Hopkins because what he offers is priceless. Thank you for everything Dr. Yang.
