David D. Yeh, MD, FAANS - SOUTH BAY BRAIN & SPINE

I was very nervous when I found out I needed to have neck surgery. I knew I did not want fusion. Dr Yeh told me about a newer procedure called ARD- Artificial Disc Replacement. At that time he said he'd done thousands of fusion surgeries but only about 25 ARD's. He took time to explain everything to me including the intense pain I'd feel in the 2 days after the surgery. When I found out he was a trauma surgeon at Valley Medical Center, I felt confident going with him. He did superb job, even hiding the incision cut in a wrinkle in my neck and I refer him to anyone who complains about neck or back back. He is excellent!! Thank you Dr. Yeh!!

I am in my 7 th week of recovery from spinal fusion . The first 4 weeks were very painful and limiting. But Dr. Yeh warned me about how awful it would be and that helped me get through it. Dr. Yeh explained the procedure so thoroughly that increased my confidence in his abilities. I am grateful for the success of my surgery. I’ve just started PT and it’s going to be hard but worth the pain. BTW I am 75 years old and have suffered with back, hip, leg numbness for years.

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Yeh and the new lease on life he gave my aunt. She came in as an emergency and Dr. Yeh listen to our concerns, answered our questions and gave us his honest thoughts/feelings. He was a blessing to not only her but to our family as well.
