Sam S. Yoon, MD
2009 Honoree
Division of Surgical Oncology
“At Mass General Cancer Center care is a team effort; but from the start, Dr. Yoon in particular made me feel I’d come to the right place. When I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma, Dr. Yoon was my first contact as I entered a new and frightening world of aggressive chemotherapy and proton beam radiation. After his careful and straightforward explanation, a feeling of confidence replaced my anxiety. He is totally committed to treating and saving his patients. He doesn’t just treat a patient’s cancer. He treats the patient’s entire being. His expertise and compassionate care saved my life.”
