Recommended Doctor
Kathleen YANG MD
Oncology (Cancer) - Oregon

This was the first person that was recommended to me by my medical team. The word Oncology was off putting, but the mass surrounding my right ovary was unbearable!!!!!

I had spent time online familiarizing myself with ovarian cancer and benign tumors, before meeting Dr. Yang.. Once Dr. Yang, an Oncologist OB/GYN, was on my team, willing to answer my questions, I felt fearless!!!

She has great "bedside manners", a great sense of humor and a no nonsense approach to the real work at hand!!! This could have gone one of two ways: so she drew me a map; showed me best case, then worst case. Gave me a copy of our conversation!, drawings and all! Best conversation I have EVER had with a Doctor on my first visit.

We scheduled surgery and a little over a week later I am cancer free, total hysterectomy free, and the SOFTBALL sized SOLID Mass that had been squeezing my right ovary from all sides is GONE!!!!

My surgery was Wednesday, I walked four city blocks yesterday, I FINALLY POOPED today, and this is only Tuesday of the following week.

My pain has been manageable, her staff approacable, and the surgical team introduced themselves one by one bye fore surgery. They even introduced me to the robot!

Dr. Yang visited me in my hospital room, I am glad I stayed one night. She showed me with her hands how big the ROCK HARD SOLID mass was, explained that she had to chop it up a bit to get it out through my vagina, and validated that my pain must have bye for even horrendous!!!! I see her in a few weeks for post op.

Dr, Yang performed my hysterectomy. It was a very complicated surgery with a very aggressive form of cancer and she handled it with grace and skill. She was open and honest at all stages of my cancer journey. She took as much time as I needed to answer all my questions and was there for my family as well. I would recommend her to any one who has gyno/cancer concerns.

The only down side is Dr. Yang works for a very busy practice and her office had to cancel or delay a few of my appointments when her surgeries ran over time or when she was called into an emergency. (Really not a complaint considering my own surgery ran 4 hours longer than expected)
