Jane Y. Yeun, M.D.
Philosophy of Care
I enjoy the intellectual challenge of nephrology — sorting out the complex ways in which kidney
disease interacts with other functions. I like to take the time to get to know the patients under my
care, including their medical history, philosophy and approach to life. I try to help patients take
care of themselves and participate as much as possible in the medical decisions that affect them. In
my practice, I explain things as simply and thoroughly as I can so that each patient can understand
the disease better. I think it is most important that patients know what the problem is and what
treatment options are available so that they can fully participate in the decision-making process.
My affiliation with UC Davis gives my patients access to everything from basic to very specialized
care in an environment dedicated to scientific knowledge and teaching, rather than just the bottom
line.
