Dr. Yun is an orthopedic surgeon with 喵咪社区 who specializes in hip and knee replacement. He treats patients at Keck Hospital of 喵咪社区 and 喵咪社区 Arcadia Hospital.

Here鈥檚 what you won鈥檛 find on his resume.

Outside of work, he鈥檚 all about family.

鈥淚 love being a dad. The past 20 years have been filled with homework help, carpools, piano lessons and judo practices鈥攁n unexpectedly remarkable adventure. Now, with the kids off to college, I look forward to slow evening walks with my wife.鈥

He describes himself as quiet.

鈥淢y surgical training taught me to be very direct and objective. However, people may be surprised to hear that I am naturally reserved and nerdy.鈥

He鈥檚 read his favorite adventure novel many times.

鈥溾榃atership Down鈥 by Richard Adams is my favorite book. On the surface, it is a children鈥檚 book about rabbits. In my youth, it was a thrilling adventure story. I have gone back to reread it over and over again, and it is now a meditation on leadership, empathy and courage.鈥

Staying home is a favored pastime.

鈥淢y favorite travel destination is my backyard. I enjoy late afternoons watering my plants.鈥 

Helping people is rewarding.

鈥淢y team and I understand that surgery can be a painful and daunting experience for patients. A rewarding part of my work is seeing our team guide people through the process with professionalism and understanding.鈥

His team focuses on making patients feel at ease.

鈥淲e work as a team. We address our patients鈥 fears, anxiety and dread. My own bedside manner may come off as a bit blunt, but the other members of my team more than make up for that with their patience, reassurance and empathy.鈥

Surgery is a precise science.

鈥淭he advancement that has been the most impactful in my field is the ability to leverage quantitative analysis, trigonometry and computer science. With these tools, surgery is as much science as artistry.鈥

Keck Medicine stands out for its culture.

鈥淜eck Medicine exemplifies a culture of excellence. I appreciate the broad application of academic rigor into surgery. It鈥檚 also a privilege to work alongside world-class physicians from every specialty.鈥
