Dear Patients,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to share with you that after much careful thought and consideration, I will be leaving Cedars-Sinai. I will remain with Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic but as an out of network provider. I will remain in my current office location. My last day with Cedars Sinai will be September 30, 2024.

My highest priority is to ensure that you are well cared for and minimally impacted by this change. My trusted Cedars-Sinai orthopedic physician colleagues are available to take on your care should you choose to not continue with me. I have the utmost confidence that they will be able to provide you with the best care moving forward. If you would like to make your next appointment with one of my colleagues, please call 1-800-CEDARS-1.

I am looking forward to the new changes to my practice and will continue to update everyone through my website at www.SteveYoonMD.com.

I have greatly valued the relationship with you and all my patients over the years and thank you for entrusting me with your care. I wish you continued health and wellness.

Warmest regards,

Steve Yoon, M.D.
