Fun Facts

The best advice Dr. Yeh has received is: “Be present in the moment and find gratitude every day” and “Worrying never solved anything.” Both were passed down by one of her mentors, Dr. Eric W. Kraus.

The most exotic place she has visited is Ushuaia in Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina, which is nicknamed “The End of the World” for being the southernmost tip of South America. Her favorite part was visiting an island completely inhabited by penguins.

Not everyone knows this about Dr. Yeh, but when in college, she was the only first-year student to compete in a poetry recitation competition in Russian. She also used to perform traditional Chinese folk dance.

Her guilty pleasures are watching the TV game show “Family Feud” and James Bond films.
