About Michael J. C. Yong
Dr. Michael Yong is a Canadian hailing from his hometown in Winnipeg, Mantioba. He completed a three-year undergraduate pre-medical degree at Queen's University in Ontario, and then made his way to the West Coast to study medicine at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, remaining there for his residency training in Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery. After residency, he completed a highly respected fellowship at Stanford University where he specialized in advanced sinus and skull bases surgery at the Stanford Sinus Clinic. He holds board certification in Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery in both the United States and Canada.
During his residency, Dr. Yong became passionate about ways of reducing barriers to accessing healthcare and increasing the sustainability of the healthcare system.

This provider. Dr. Yong, and his staff were new for me, a referral due to extended illness. Dr. Yong was thorough, supportive, attentive, bright, and explained the treatment well. His support staff kindly even came out of the office and offered me a bottle of water when I had to exit the waiting room while experiencing an extended coughing fit.

He was wonderful, explaining all procedures and the results including CT scan plus gave me many options to treat my symptoms. He was very flexible given my allergies and concerns. This was my first visit and he will be my ENT doctor from now on.
