We're excited to welcome Dr. Sandra Yan to Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates!πŸ’™πŸ©Ί

Dr. Yan's interest in medicine began when she was just seven years old.

"When I was seven years old, my mother gave me a book on several different women who changed the face of healthcare, and I was so inspired by their stories of courage and resilience that I began considering becoming a physician."

Years later, while conducting neuroscience research at the NIH, she knew neurosurgery was the path she wanted to pursue.

Dr. Yan is excited to get to know the community and provide care for patients in the greater Charlotte and Rock Hill regions. She believes every patient has a unique story to tell and considers it a privilege to care for patients during some of life's most challenging moments. ❀️

When she's not in the office, you'll likely find Dr. Yan exploring a museum, watching a musical, trying a new restaurant with her husband, or planning her next trip. 🎭✈️

In honor of National Neurosurgery Awareness Month, we're looking back at some of the incredible patient journeys we've had the privilege of sharing. 🧠 πŸ’™

For decades, Joyce lived with chronic back pain that made everyday activities difficult and kept her from doing the things she loved most. After receiving care from Dr. Joseph Cheatle and the team at CNSA, she found relief and a renewed sense of freedom.

Today, Joyce is back to gardening, traveling, and making memories with her husband and 11 grandchildren.

"I never thought I'd feel this good. It's like I've been given my life back." – Joyce

We're excited to welcome Dr. Taylor Sommer to Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates! πŸ’™πŸ©Ί

Dr. Sommer first knew he wanted to become a neurosurgeon in 2008 after becoming fascinated by the nervous system. That passion led him to study neuroscience before completing medical school, a neurosurgery residency, and a fellowship in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery. For Dr. Sommer, caring for patients is more than surgery.

His approach to patient care is to individualize care. Dr. Sommer stated, "Each person has a unique set of circumstances, symptoms, and imaging findings. My goal is to carefully and accurately diagnose the problem and then work with the patient to come up with a plan that everyone is happy with. Every patient is going to have different goals and desires. I will work with each patient to achieve those goals."

When he's not in the clinic or operating room, you'll probably find him on the golf course, playing basketball, skiing, trying a new recipe in the kitchen, or spending time with his wife and their two children. β›³πŸ€πŸŽΏπŸͺ

Fun fact: Dr.Sommer is also fluent in both English and Swedish!

Please join us in giving Dr. Sommer a warm welcome to the CNSA family! πŸŽ‰ Leave a comment below to show your support!
