Synergy is the word used to describe the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Synergistic effects, we believe, can be achieved both through the collaborative partnership between the physician and patient, and through the combination of conventional and integrated medicine. The ultimate results are healthier and happier patients and increased professional satisfaction for Dr. Yang and her staff.

Synergy Family Medicine is established to enhance the doctor/patient relationship by providing top-quality, personalized and accessible health care within the parameters of the current medical system. We use available modern technology such as the internet, online appointment scheduling and electronic health records and feature same-day urgent care appointments and 24/7 on-call coverage.

Recognizing that each patient presents a unique set of circumstances, symptoms and healthcare needs, our goal is to provide high-quality, compassionate care to meet the individual health care needs of all.

Dr. Helen W. Yang was trained in China in conventional western medicine as well as in Chinese acupuncture and food therapy. During and after residency training in family medicine at UNC Chapel Hill, she has made extensive use of her skills and knowledge in primary care, food therapy, natural supplements and Chinese acupuncture. Dr. Yang enjoys caring for patients of all ages. She will be glad to work together with you in a partnership to improve your health through a comprehensive approach designed to meet your specific health goals.
