Testimonials

"Dr. Yang was awesome!"

Carl B.

"Great doctor and friendly staff! Dr. Yang was patient, listened to my concerns, and explained things thoroughly. I love the fact that I didn't have to go elsewhere for x-ray and wait for the results. I got everything accomplished in one visit! Great visit from the minute I walked in the door to the moment I left."

DIANE N.

"Dr. Carolyn Yang is wonderful!!! Been dealing unsuccessfully with a long-term injury for my 10 year old. Unlike another well-known orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Yang was on time!!! Friendly, kind, thorough and very helpful. She took her time to go over the x-rays, show us what is going on and prescribe a useful solution for an active 10 year old. Thank you! We look forward to a true recovery."

KATHERINE K.

"Dr. Carolyn Yang is a major asset. She was able to tell me in under 5 minutes what 4 other doctors could not. I would recommend her services to everyone needing this type of specialist."

BRETT S.

"Dr. Yang addressed my concern I brought up, was thorough, and the entire process of getting a plate removed was refreshingly simple to navigate! Was very impressed with the care."

JENNIFER K.

“After years of mysterious thumb pain and failed diagnosis I decided to get a second opinion. Dr. Yang was able to diagnose and treat me after ONE visit. She was knowledgeable, efficient, tentative and really cared about my outcome. The whole process was so easy and effortless. From my first office visit, to surgery, to post op, she made herself available and checked in on me. I couldn’t recommend a better orthopedic surgeon!”
