Portland Surgeons
About
Our mission is to take care of patients with surgical problems in a compassionate and understanding manner. We strive to always be open, available, and helpful to our patients, with good communication at every step of the way. We are dedicated to maintaining strong surgical skills and knowledge, to always be able to offer the best available treatments to our patients. We listen to the needs of our patients to find a balanced approach to treatment that keeps each individual patient’ s needs, values, and goals in mind.
Team
We are committed to working with a team approach.
Although your closest relationship will be with your primary surgeon, we all work together to be sure you are taken care of in the best, safest, and most efficient manner possible. On evenings and weekends, you may hear from or meet one of the other members of the team. If problems arise, and your primary surgeon is not available, rest assured that we all take care of patients in a similar manner, and your care will not change based on who is on call. If you are seeing one of us, and we feel one of our partners is more specialized in your particular problem, we will discuss this with you and possibly have you see that surgeon, to ensure you are getting the best possible care we can offer. However, we will never change who is doing your operation without your knowledge and consent.

Dr. Sean Watters was exceptionally professional, kind, empathetic. He understood my condition extremely well and talked to me about everything that was going on. I had no real questions when we were done with the visit and the follow up on surgery went extremely well, and I'm greatly appreciative of his concern for me and a job that he did. Thank you.

Dr. Karen Zink treated me with kindness and respect. She went above and beyond my expectations. I feel so fortunate to have had her as a surgeon. She is articulate, responsive and compassionate. |

Dr. Waters did an excellent job of listening to my explanation and then checking me out and also explaining the options for treatment, so I felt like I was provided with an excellent standard of care. |

Dr. Zink was amazing. She's probably one of the best doctors I've ever worked with, hands down, top notch. I appreciate her help, and her willingness to go above and beyond, and the surgery went really well, and just all around one of the best doctors I've ever worked with.

I would just like to state or say that or something that was an emergency or something that was not supposed to be pleasant it was actually a real positive experience for me. It had me look at myself a lot more about my health and just how professional that everybody was and kept it a very actually enjoyable experience. I never had anything bad to say about anything from the beginning until the end and even the follow up with it was a very positive experience.

I have been a patient of Dr Yu's for the past 10 years. As far as I am concerned, he is the very best melanoma doctor. |
