Min Kang, MD

After studying organic chemistry and research, Dr. Min Kang switched to practical medicine. He completed his residency and fellowship in hematology-oncology at the Truman Medical Center at the University of Missouri, earning Board certification in medical oncology in 2007.

When discussing treatment options, Dr. Kang considers the patient’s current health state, as other disorders that may be present could affect outcomes. He feels that if a patient has all the information on possible side effects and treatment duration, they can better plan their care. Dr. Kang is sensitive to the patient’s preferences, family quality of life, and the financial impact of treatment. He notes that treatment cost has an increasingly heavy bearing on patient and family decisions, and he feels it’s important as a care provider to recognize and address that often-unspoken concern.

Dr. Kang is married and has two sons. For relaxation, he reads and enjoys long walks. He is a self-proclaimed “terrible golfer” who nonetheless treasures the time the sport lets him spend with his sons.
