Dr. Grace Yang is a board-certified foot & ankle surgeon who spent 7+ years in practice in the Atlanta area before joining Pearl. Her training carried her from Emory University in Atlanta, to her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, and on to a highly surgical fellowship back at Emory University Saint Joseph Hospital.
Her practice emphasizes education, prevention, and personalized treatment plans built around each patient’s goals and lifestyle. That means explaining what is actually going on in plain language, starting with conservative options where they make sense, and being clear about what surgery would and would not solve, so the decision is yours to make with real information.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Yang enjoys baking, workout classes, pilates, and trying out new restaurants.

Your first visit, step by step
No rushing, no guesswork. Here is how a first appointment with Dr. Yang works, so you know what to expect before you arrive.
We listen first
You will walk us through what is going on and what matters to you, before any exam. Your time, your story.
A thorough exam, explained
Dr. Yang examines your foot and ankle and explains what she is seeing in plain language, not medical jargon.
Prevention, not just treatment
She will cover what is driving the problem and how to keep it from coming back, alongside treating what hurts today.
A clear plan you choose
You leave with a plan you understand, conservative options first where appropriate, and a straight answer on what surgery would and would not fix.
Minimally invasive surgery
Do I qualify for minimally invasive surgery? Dr. Yang can answer that at your consultation.
Dr. Yang is trained in and offers minimally invasive foot & ankle surgery, an approach still uncommon in the Portland area. Working through smaller incisions means less disruption to the surrounding soft tissue, and for appropriate cases, a typically faster recovery.
Not every foot or ankle problem is suited to a minimally invasive approach; severity and joint condition matter, and candidacy is determined at your consultation. Results may vary and no specific outcome is guaranteed. If you have been told you need traditional surgery, you are welcome to ask whether a minimally invasive option fits your case.
