#WeAre°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ: Dr. Heather Yeo
February 15, 2017
For Dr. Heather Yeo, medicine is synonymous with family. Her father was a respected surgeon who sparked in her a passion for medicine that led her down the same career path, and a close relationship with her grandmother inspired her interest in caring for older patients. As a colorectal surgeon, Dr. Yeo is committed to improving surgical outcomes and fostering outstanding, patient-centered care.
"For me, the relationships with the patients are very important," said Dr. Yeo, an assistant professor of surgery and of healthcare policy and research at °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ. "I want to take care of them like I would want someone to take care of my grandmother or my father."
