Yomiyu Gafesu
PA-C
We are excited to introduce Yomiyu Gafesu, PA-C!
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.

“I came to be under Dr. Donovan's care during a medical emergency at the hospital. The care I received that day and in every interaction after, at Willamette ENT has been prompt, professional and very thorough. I feel very well cared for.”
