"My experience with Dr. Salari has been amazing . I am seeing him again for on going pain and weakness in my foot . He went over the MRI and explained to me in a way I could understand. He let me know that he could do the least invasive surgery and it might fix the problem at least for awhile but that there was a chance I would need something more invasive at some point . I appreciate the transparency and the opportunity that I can choose what I feel is best for me at this time, without feeling pressured. My previous surgery with Dr. Salari was a success. Feeling very grateful that I found such a great Surgeon recommended by a friend who had surgery by him as well."

5 STAR REVIEW - 2 weeks ago
I recently had my second microdiscectomy done on L5/S1 that had me bedridden prior to surgery. Upon waking up all of the nerve pain was gone and didn't have to take any painkillers after the day of surgery. He was very thorough going through the different surgical options and providing me with his recommendation before making a decision. At the post op visit he also discussed in detail his recommendations and advice on how to make a full recovery. I'm 3 weeks post op now and have minimal pain as my body is healing. Would certainly recommend anyone considering back surgery to consult Dr. Yeung.
