Dr. Syngil Steven Yang

I fractured my forearm 3 months ago and needed surgery in Florida. after that I had so much swelling and stiffness in my hand and fingers. I could not close my hand. It did not get better with 6 months of physical therapy and 2nd and 3rd opinions. Finally, I found Dr Yang who listened to me and spent a lot of time examining me. He did surgery to release tight muscles in my hand and I started therapy 3 days later. My hand is practically normal after only 1 month! Dr. Yang and his staff are amazing. He saved my hand!

Doctor Yang was courteous serious and clearly explained my problem. A very complicated problem with my arm that he was able to reconstruct with a 2 hour surgery. So happy with the outcome and thankful I was able to get into be treated by Doctor Yang.

He is a superb MD and a lovely person!

His office requested all of my brother’s records prior to our appointment. Not sure he reviewed them prior to the appointment. He did not recommend surgery after a cursory exam(about 20 minutes). He made a diagnosis. When I asked him how he arrived at this diagnosis, he laughed and left the room! Don’t waste your time with him! Very unprofessional!

Dr. Yang was patient, decisive and attentive. He is a brilliant surgeon! I HIGHLY recommend both him and his incredible staff. Thank you for fixing me!!!

Dr. Yang is excellent. He called me at home on a weekend, right after my surgery to see how I was doing. Not only is he a great doctor, but he has a friendly kind disposition as well and a great PA who was also friendly and helpful. I highly recommend him for any hand issue.

I highly recommended Dr. Yang. He is a very experienced, honest, and caring surgeon. I went to Dr. Yang for a nerve surgery on my hand. Dr. Yang was very patient and took the time to clearly explain to me my options and comfort me, especially that this was an emergency surgery at the start of the pandemic. After my surgery, Dr. Yang followed-up with me to check on my recovery progress and made sure to explain to me what to do and expect next to continue to improve. I'm now 9 weeks post surgery and on my way to full recovery exactly as Dr. Yang advised. Dr. Yang's office staff absolutely wonderful. Aubrey made sure I had all the necessary paperwork I needed right away for my insurance and office. She is beyond helpful, caring, and kind. I never had to worry about paperwork during this time, thanks to Aubrey.

Dr. Yang and his staff are hands down the best medical professionals I've ever had. I honestly wish he could be my primary care physician. Even my wife mentioned how great an impression he left after having talked to him for mere minutes when she picked me up after my surgery. He and his staff are exceptionally friendly, positive, knowledgeable, and caring. This rang true from my first consultation, to my surgery, to helping with my rehabilitation afterwards, and every check up in between. It was an almost 5 months long journey from start to finish and every step of the way I was confident that I was getting the very best medical care. I could not recommend more highly.

Dr. Yang is a wonderful doctor. At every visit, he took the time to clearly explain the process, the surgery, all the possible outcomes and expectations. He listened and responded to all my questions and was always on time with his schedule, if not early. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who needs hand surgery. A great human being!

Had a thumb fracture that was pretty rough and the whole process was quite smooth. Surgery was comfortable and Dr. Yang was communicative and called me afterwards to check on how I was feeling. Very knowledgable and quickly told me all options available upon seeing him for the first time. I was quite impressed with Dr. Yang and the rest of the staff that assisted me at NYU Langone.

My experience has been very positive. After I had undergone a left trigger thumb release procedure, I took a fall a month later and ended up needing rather emergent surgery to my right dominant hand - a complete tear of the UCL ligament of the right thumb! Dr Yang and his team jumped into action that Monday, 3/4/19 and on the morning of Wednesday, 3/6/19, I underwent surgery. My left hand is doing well and as I carefully type this review, I am looking forward to full recovery! K

I had carpal tunnel and tenosynovitis due to RA and knew there was no guarantee that hand surgery would improve matters. Dr Yang performed a miracle: tingling stopped almost immediately after surgery, after three weeks I could make a fist again, and still every day my hand gets stronger and I have more function.

I had seen this doctor and had an absolutely horrible experience and even posted a negative review but it never got posted. I had had hand surgery with another doctor and went to him for a second opinion on a problem which had developed on the operated hand post op. Not only was he, as well as his assisting PA Kayla condescending, he made me feel as though he thought that I was lying about the symptom I was complaining about.

Lovely manner, answered all my questions clearly. Efficient and thorough and cheery all at the same time.

My experience with Dr Yang was nothing short of spectacular. I had surgery on my thumb by another surgeon that never healed properly and after almost 8 months in constant severe pain without any explanation, I sought out Dr Yang. From my first appointment with Dr Yang he was able to pinpoint the post-surgical issue I was having. He is an excellent diagnostician and explained things clearly and concisely. His surgical expertise was flawless and I am now relatively pain free.

Working with him was a fantastic experience. He was friendly, informative and always on time. He accommodated a very tight and difficult schedule for my son’s hand surgery and was helpful in dealing with our finding therapy specialists abroad when we were traveling. I would highly recommend Dr. Yang.

Dr. Yang and his staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They take the time to listen and explain everything clearly. I highly recommend this office

Dr Yang's intellectual prowess and mechanical dexterity seem self evident from the results I've experienced with my shoulder surgery, But equally important to this skill set is that he listens with more then his ears. He's a teammate with his patient. Closest experience I've had to this is in classical ballet pas de deux where you must totally focus on and be in sync with your partner. I guess one could refer to this as an empathic coordinate but my language skills fail to embody his capacity.

Dr. Yang did as perfect of a job I imagine is possible repairing my broken wrist, and in an amazingly speedy amount of time. Just 3 days after my injury, I was in the operating room. I had both my scaphoid and distal radius repaired, with a screw and a plate. I had a cast on for only a week, occupational therapy starting that following week. After less than 3 months, I had full range of motion and was able to continue strengthening my arm on my own, without doctor appointments.

Dr. Yang is a great doctor. Professional and caring, with great bedside manners and patience. He will listen to you and then explain in details what is the issue and what are your treatment options. I needed surgery and dr. Yang explained in detail the whole procedure and answered all my questions. The day after my surgery he called to check how I was doing. I also wanted to mention his assistant PA Kayla and his surgery team. Amazing people working with amazing doctor. Thank you Dr. Yang.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Yang and PA Kayla. I needed an unexpected wrist surgery for a broken scaphoid bone in my dominant wrist, and Dr. Yang thoroughly explained every detail of the break, the surgery options and the recovery process (not to mention diagnosed it instantly after my primary care doctor had misdiagnosed it). Both were extremely knowledgeable, answered any and all questions I had, and made me feel very comfortable and confident with the care I was receiving!

I had been diagnosed with a trigger finger by another doctor who told me I needed surgery. Dr. Yang determined what I had was arthritis, not trigger finger, sparing me unnecessary surgery.

Dr. Yang is the best Surgeon anyone can wish for. He listens carefully to all your inquiries and answers all your questions professionally and caring. Dr. Yang operated on my right arm ulnar bone which I broke. I was in pain and nervous, but when I met Dr. Yang he made me feel at ease. I left his office with a smile and optimistic about my surgery. Its been 2 months since my surgery and my arm is doing better than ever. My scar is beautiful and minimal and no pain at all. Dr. Yang is a miracle.

My experience with Dr. Yang was by far the best I have ever had with a medical professional by a large margin. Dr. Yang and his staff are all top notch professionals and made the entire surgical procedure and subsequent follow-ups pleasant and positive experiences. From the moment I met Dr. Yang, I knew I was in excellent hands and the result of the surgery was even better than I could have ever imagined. Kind, compassionate and extremely professional and thorough.

Love this Doctor. Great bedside manner and a great surgeon. Had 3 hand surgeries with Dr Yang and they were all so easy! Actually went back to work the same day. No pain and no stiffness after. Amazingly happy how well everything went.

Four years ago, Dr. Yang, an orthopaedic surgeon, performed surgery on my right hand’s pinky finger and recently on my left hand’s middle, ring, and pinky fingers for dupuytren’s contractures, both operations were successful. Dr. Yang listens to your concerns, analyzes the condition and takes a corrective conservative approach. He performs surgery, only when it's absolutely necessary. In New York City, where you have the largest selection of physicians and surgeons in the world, it speaks volum

Dr. Yang performed open carpal tunnel surgery on both hands along with trigger finger release on both thumbs and one finger in separate surgeries.I couldn't be happier with my choice of surgeon. He made a a very stressful situation the best it could be. I felt confident and assured that the procedure was quick and effective and I would be recover with no issues. I have full use of both hands with no pain or numbness shortly after surgery. I highly recommend... he is tops in his profession!

I saw Dr. Yang after another doctor recommended surgery for my fracture because of his amazing credentials and reputation and more than 25 years of experience. He was director at Lennox Hill Hospital and now head of the hand and arm center at NYU. He participates in my insurance too. He actually told me I didn't need surgery! I'm writing because my arm is 100% after casting and physical therapy! Thanks Dr. Yang for saving me from an operation.

Incredibly thorough, kind, and competent! Explained everything in detail. He removed a painful tumor from my forearm and I was back to work in two weeks. No pain, no scar and full function. His team was awesome! I would trust him with any of my friends or family.

The medical care was great. However.... I AM HAVING A BILLING NIGHTMARE WITH THESE PEOPLE. BEEN TRYING FOR 3 MONTHS TO FIND OUT WHY I'M BEING CHARGED SO MUCH MONEY FOR A ROUTINE OFFICE VISIT, AND NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN IT.

Dr. Yang was extremely professional, thorough, competent and seems to sincerely care about his patients. Excellent staff. His initial exam was the right combo of listening to my symptoms and performing diagnostics (unlike a six minute exam I had with another doctor that barely looked at me). Dr. Yang did not rush me into surgery - we tried other avenues first. I was in incredible chronic pain before the surgery. The surgery restored my quality of life, and recovery was better than expected.

Dr. Yang's professionalism, attentiveness, kindness, and follow-up were over the top. His staff were excellent as well. If a surgical experience can be fantastic than this was it. I have recommended him to many people and will continue to do so in the future.

Not only was his work so good that you can't even find a scar, but I healed quickly and without any complications. He is the nicest man, caring and kind and he answers all questions with patience and clarity.

Terrific bedside manner, professional, and overall a caring Doctor. Would highly recommend him to anyone seeking the best hand and wrist orthopedic surgeon.

My experience with Dr. Yang was very delighful. His explanations of my laceration and the procedure for surgery were greatly soothing. I want to thank Dr. Yang for his work, he was able to repair my tendons and nerves in my dominant hand; therefore, returning back to work after only 3 months recovery. His work is unbelievable amazing, i could barely notice the scar. Thank you so much Dr. Yang.

A true caring professional. After meeting with Dr. Yang you wouldn't want anyone else doing your surgery. Very helpful in explaining your whole procedure and making sure you understand it. When you leave his office you will be confident you are under the best care.

Thank you Dr. Yang. The trigger finger that I had is totally recovered after the surgery. You are one of the best doctor I have encountered so far in my life.

Dr Yang rebuilt my wrist after malunion. Extremely knowledgeable, patient friendly, and competent. As a long time surgical nurse, I say outcome was as good as could be hoped for. Five stars, excellent surgeon, excellent human being. Thank you Doctor Yang
