About Me

Inspired by their resilience and strength, she stays at the leading edge of her field so that she can introduce families to the latest therapies, specifically those that minimize harmful and long-lasting side effects.
 
Dr. Yoon received her medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio and then served as a pediatric resident at the Medical University of South Carolina. She moved to California to pursue a pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Prior to City of Hope, Dr. Yoon was at University of California Davis Medical Center then spent over a decade at University of California San Diego/Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego where she was a clinical professor and director of the pediatric solid tumor program.

She is a proud member of the City of Hope sarcoma team.
Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
