Dr. Nima Salari performed a Laminectomy on me in late April this year. I had extreme lower back pain on top of a fractured vertebrae. I was basically a cripple as I could not walk for very long without being almost Completely bent over from the pain. The day after surgery except for some surgical aching I was pain-free. Dr. Salari receives my highest recommendation. As I have told him, he gave me my life back!

Dr. Nima Salari was very thorough and took time to explain everything to me. He even showed me the issue on my MRI. I’m thankful that I found him and feel confident that he’ll do a great job on my surgery.

I just went for an opinion today and, fortunately and unfortunately, I am not a candidate yet for surgery but Dr. Yeung is absolutely amazing, sweet, kind, honest, smart!!!!! He was thorough even though my case is pretty simple, cut and dry. I came out of this office reassured, knowing that when I will need surgery I’ll have a great doc!
