Overview
Philosophy of care | Facing a cancer diagnosis is extremely tough for patients and their families. High-quality cancer care should be easy to find closer to home. Patients facing a cancer diagnosis should have access to a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best outcome. | Why I entered medicine | I entered the field of medicine to advance care through research, education and program building. | Community involvement | I've directed educational events for physicians/clinicians on breast diseases and cancer. I’ve led and participated in high-risk screening events. I’ve moderated symposiums and participated in fundraising and educational walks. I’ve worked with community leaders on breast cancer needs and resources. I’ve participated in media events to help educate the public on breast cancer risks and to share patient stories for colon cancer and breast cancer. | Personal interests | My interest is using education and research to improve and expand high-quality cancer care locally. I also enjoy spending time with my family and kids.

Philosophy of care | The healing process requires trust, knowledge and hope. I try to create a feeling of trust, give patients the knowledge they need to understand their own condition, and of course, develop a plan that gives them hope. I treat my patients as if they are a member of my family or a close friend. I committed myself to that when I first thought of becoming a doctor. I know what it means. My dear aunt and grandmother both had breast cancer. I know how it affected my own family. Treating a patient like a member of the family means empowering my patients with understandable information and formulating a treatment plan that makes sense to them. I share my perspective with my patients, try to eliminate the unknown and help them to see the light after passing through darkness. | Also, I am a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I was conflicted between my passion for classical music as a concert pianist and for the art of medicine as an intellectual. I came to a conclusion that I could combine both arts and make a compassionate career with the product of my hands - the art of Surgery. | Community involvement | I am committed to church activities, medical missions and mentorship. I am actively engaged in women's programs such as 'Show your chapeau', a fundraiser musical event to benefit breast cancer patients. | Personal interests | My interests are classical piano, church organ and oil painting. I am also fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and Korean. Dr. Whang is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Osteitis Fibrosa.
