When discussing his pathway into medicine, Dr. Yang explains, "I went into medicine and specialized in orthopedics because of my love of fixing things with my hands. This combined with my passion for helping people led me to surgery and the specialty of Orthopedics. The surgery we do can truly change our patient's life."
