I cannot say enough lovely things about Dr. Yang. She took the time to learn my story and me as a patient (something rare for a surgeon). She laid out her plan with my input, only doing what I felt comfortable with and gave me every outcome and reassurance. The best thing about her is that she CARES about her patients. I had a panic attack as I was wheeled in to surgery (a result of a very traumatic surgery not done at Northwestern or by Dr. Yang), and Dr. Yang held my hand and reassured me until I was fully out.

Dr. Yang came highly recommended from a couple of people who are friends/colleagues with my best friend who is a surgeon. She was great and answered my questions and made me feel at ease. She and the other doctors who saw me were all absolutely fantastic! Definitely lived up to the hype! So glad I was able to be seen by her and everyone at the center!! They do a great job of reading and responding to the patient and being patient centered. I cannot describe how night and day it was compared to my recent medical encounters.

This is my fourth surgery with Dr Yang and looks like she may have done it again - give me my life back. I got years of relief between my last surgery with her and the hysterectomy this month. It's still early but I'm feeling confident this is going to let me live my life! Honestly I barely had to talk to her, we were very much still on the same wave length and came to the conclusion of hysterectomy very very quickly. But I saw her for years at Loyola as my regular gyne and she opened so many doors to recovering my health on top of being so empathetic, sympathetic and motivated to give me the best life possible. I really can't say enough about her!

My previous doctor made me feel like I was making up my pain. Both doctors at NW spent an hour with me, getting to the root of what was going on and quickly spotted what the other doctors had overlooked. I’m truly in so much peace now and confident in my surgical plan. Best of all I feel validated and heard. Thank you!!!

In the endometriosis community, we are used to doctors ignoring our concerns and dismissing our pain.
