James Yoon, MD
Leukemia Specialist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Physician
I am a board-certified hematologist and medical oncologist who specializes in treating people with different types of leukemia and other blood cancers. I see patients at Memorial Hospital.
Patients are at the center of my work. I make it a priority to understand their values and concerns, while guiding them through one of the most challenging moments in their lives. I also believe that a strong, multidisciplinary team can help provide patients with all the tools they need to be successful in their cancer treatment.
At MSK, I work closely with an entire team of leukemia specialists, consultants, pharmacists, nurses, advanced practice practitioners, social workers, care managers, and hospital staff to deliver the best possible care to our patients.
My other role is to collaborate with the clinical trials program and scientists at MSK to study new therapies for leukemia and other blood cancers, with the goal of improving our patients’ outcomes. I envision a future in which patients will have access to a wide range of targeted, effective, and tolerable cancer treatments.
A leukemia specialist is a doctor with special training in diagnosing and treating leukemia.
