Philosophy of Care
Dr. Yunce believes that therapeutic plasma exchange should be guided by evidence, individualized to each patient, and delivered with transparency about what the procedure can and cannot accomplish. Every consultation begins with a thorough review of your medical history, current health status, and treatment goals.
He will discuss whether TPE is appropriate for your situation, explain the expected process, and outline realistic outcomes. If TPE is not the right fit, he will say so clearly and suggest alternatives where possible.
