In June of 2017, I

In June of 2017, I was diagnosed with Stage IV oral cancer (Squamous cell carcinoma). I’ve been cancer free for over 2 years due to the surgery and post-surgery guidance and ongoing support by Dr. Yen and his staff. A special thanks to Dr. Lino Miele (Plastic Surgeon) and Dr. David Andolino (Radiation Oncologist) for their participation in my surgery and post-surgery support while members of the Dr. Yen medical team. From the start, Dr. Yen was a straight shooter sharing exactly what radically will occur during surgery and recovery. As a patient preparing for a life changing ordeal, his approach was very much appreciated. Also, he took the time on numerous occasions during my 10 day stay in the hospital to visit with me. He has a wonderful bedside manner. His energy and excitement around my case always makes me more motivated to keep working on getting better. I always feel like I am his only patient. Even though I have difficulty speaking for long periods of ti me and difficulty swallowing, I am excited to be alive. Thanks Dr. Yen.
