About Me

Dr. Song has delivered free medical care to expectant mothers in Pakistan, supported children with disabilities in South Korea and taught future physicians the fundamentals of surgical care. Throughout her career, she has earned numerous accolades recognizing her clinical and teaching excellence and she believes it is a privilege to work closely with women facing a wide range of gynecologic cancers. 

Fluent in both English and Korean, Dr. Song is deeply committed to women’s health. She specializes in both advanced abdominal surgeries and minimally invasive gynecologic procedures, tailoring care to meet each patient’s unique needs. Her passion for cancer care led her to City of Hope, where she works on advanced clinical trials that help bring groundbreaking therapies from the research lab to the clinic. 

Dr. Song received her undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York and her medical degree from SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn. She completed additional training with fellowships in health equity leadership and gynecologic oncology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved.

"Poor experience. Oncologist's discussion was 100% clinical. I did not feel as though she cared about me. She delivered very serious, life changing, negative news that I was not expecting, and also not expecting to hear from her. I had contacted her with regard to questions about a clinical trial she facilitates. I would not expect her to sugar coat the news, but I did not leave the meeting feeling hopeful, or feeling like she was considering me as an individual person with feelings, rather than a statistic. She proposed a standard of care treatment that has existed for decades, potentially followed by a clinical trial, but with no assurance that the trial would be open by the time I had completed the standard of care treatment."

"Something was "off" about our video appointment. Dr. Song is usually and I've gained confidence in trust with her, but she seemed annoyed with me and rushed through my questions. My main concern was changing to another progesterone medication. During the call I got no clear answers if I could safely change. I wanted to change because of the unpleasant side effects over the years."
