About Me:
Dr. Yang went to her county’s public health center for healthcare while growing up in Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina. She has also lived in Troy, Michigan and Princeton, New Jersey and was raised by parents who immigrated from China. Her father and older sister were her role models and passed away in 2019. She completed a year of surgery residency after medical school and loves working with her hands and listening to patients tell their stories.
