She specializes in the treatment of breast cancer, the management of high-risk individuals, and the treatment of benign breast diseases.Dr. Yeh was originally drawn to medicine with an interest in plastic surgery, which was a natural fit for her background as an avid ceramicist and artist. She discovered her true calling during surgical residency, where she found profound fulfillment in connecting with patients during challenging times and celebrating their recoveries. This eventually led her to breast oncology, a field that perfectly combines her passion for surgical precision, excellent treatment options, and promising patient outcomes.She completed her residency at Morristown Medical Center and her fellowship at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Prior to joining Northwell, she served as section chief of breast surgery at NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn for eight years.

She passionately advocates for lifestyle and dietary modifications as crucial tools in cancer risk reduction. While genetics are beyond our control, we possess decision-making and control in how we live our lives to decrease risks. Empowering individuals with this knowledge is important to me, she says.As a native New Yorker, Dr. Yeh enjoys exploring the city's vast and diverse culinary landscape.
