Yomiyu Gafesu
PA-C
We are excited to introduce Yomiyu Gafesu, PA-C! Yomiyu will be joining the Willamette ENT team on November 3rd.
Yomiyu strives to create a space where patients feel heard and cared for through compassionate and evidence-based medical care. She genuinely enjoys helping patients play an active role in their treatment. Yomiyu appreciates the chance to make a real difference in how people feel and hopes her calm and approachable nature puts patients at ease, even in stressful situations.
Yomiyu specialized in the ENT field because it brings together several elements that interest her, including fascinating anatomy, hands-on surgical work and the ability to improve patients’ daily lives.
In her free time, Yomiyu enjoys traveling to new places, cafe-hopping in search of the best latte or matcha, concerts, music festivals and spending quality time with family and friends.

“Have always found the staff and doctors here to be helpful. This was my first visit with Dr. Prze after Dr. Allan retired, and he was very friendly, enthusiastic, and thorough. It was obvious he had read my chart carefully before my checkup.”
