Dr. Jane Yanagawa, MD

Maybe you're reading this because, like me, you were given a diagnosis that has you frightened and requires surgery. And then you were given a list of thoracic surgeons to consider. If Dr Jane Yanagawa is on your list I have good news - you can stop your search now. You have found the most patient, kind and supremely talented surgeon I've ever met. From our first meeting I knew I was in good hands because Dr Yanagawa had taken the time to review all my history and test results. And it's more than the fact that she listened to us and answered all our questions - she did it with such grace and genuine compassion. She crafted a care plan that put my mind at ease for the first time in months. Then she kept my family updated during my surgery and she visited me in the hospital. Her entire team was also top notch and checked on me often while I was in the hospital and home recovering. I'm just so grateful for Dr Yanagawa and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Dr Yanagawa is brilliant, humble and literally saved my husbands life. I cannot think of a more talented, qualified and overall amazing thoracic surgeon. I hope no one ever needs her, but if you do you are lucky to be in her hands.

Dr Yanagawa is a brilliant passionate compassionate surgeon. She is kind and loving. Not only a great doctor but she is a communicator and a natural educator. Dr Yanagawa removed a part of my lung which was burdened with a malignancy that needed to be taken away in a manner that was free from unnecessary drama. Dr Jane Yanagawa and her team of dedicated health professionals treated me with kindness compassion and the utmost respect and concern.
