What our patients are saying…

"I went through three neurologists prior to making an appointment with Doctor Yashar, and each one made three different diagnoses, one said is polyneuropathy, second said its MS and third said its depression. None of them could find out the issue with my numbness, tingling, and pain or care to find, but with Dr. Yashar was different, he was honest precise and blunt.

There was a miscommunication between me and one of his staff and my first sit down with him, but as soon as I brought up the issue of my past three neurologists bad experience and my lack of satisfaction, they outdid themselves to look into the matter thoroughly. I never saw such a care in a doctor office, I was treated by Doctor Yahsar's staff and the doctor himself as a king. He investigates the issue to its core and even studies the MRI disc images, and he recommended me to consult the proper medical teams to help me with the damaged nerve, by deflation through pain management or exercise treatment of spinal problems through physical therapists prior to suggesting any surgery. Also, I was recommended to USC Neurology Dept for further investigation. So the matter was addressed intensely and professionally.

I realized that Dr. Yashar genuinely cares to cure his patient with or without money, which makes him an exceptional doctor in a city that most physicians don't even listen to their patients, and all they do is to collect $ and ignore patients. At Dr. Yashar office I dealt with Amber and Michael who has been a credit to their profession and went above and beyond patient satisfaction, by doing what they say and doing it fast. I can only hope with their recommendation I can find a way to release my long-lasting numbness and agony that I have endured over the past year which no other doctor tried, care or was able to.

On that note, Dr. Yahsar is highly recommended to his future patients for his high knowledge, good heart, and excellent staff."

"I am so grateful that my friend referred me to Dr. Yashar!! After having gone to three other specialists, I felt hopeless. Dr. Yashar was respectful and took the time to address all of my concerns. He is knowledgeable and thorough and was able to to pinpoint my areas of need. I haven't felt this much relief in a long time. Thank you Dr. Yashar!!"

"A neurosurgeon is actually venturing into a person's head. A very scary and challenging situation. I tried so hard not to be nervous. If it were not for Dr. Yashar's calm demeanor and skills in installing the stent in my brain I may have backed out altogether. Not one but two aneurysms, he said, but he was so reassuring that we could place the stent there to prevent both from rupturing. I am so glad he was my doctor and I look forward to checking in with him to make sure all is well. His assistant Meagan was so helpful and accomodating to work around my very busy schedule to get the procedure done. I recommend Dr. Yashar as a highly skilled and caring physician."

"Dr Yashar Is the most honest and sincere doctor I know. He truly cares about you and he make sure that any treatment that he does for you is necessary. He's not after money he is after making sure that his patient does well at the end of the day. I went to him because of my back thinking that I need to get surgery but he was so honest that he said I don't need it. Other doctors were trying to push me to do surgery. I highly recommend this doctor and I want to thank him for everything that he has done for me."

"I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Dr Yashar. An unruptured aneurysm was identified in my brain and it was recommended that I see a neurosurgeon. Dr Yashar was one of the first recommendations I was given. He was able to educate me on the issue and his suggestion for treatment. His attention to detail and overall calm confident demeanor gave me so much comfort. He personally checked in before and after my surgery (stent placement). Meagann, his office manager quickly responded to every question I had and made it easy for me to get scheduled for surgery and follow up appointments. I 100% made the right decision is choosing Dr Yashar."

"Dr. Yashar literally changed my life! After 8 years struggling with back pain and meeting with 2 other surgeons Dr. Yashar took the most time to understand my personal lifestyle goals and educate me in making the best decision for me. After feeling very comfortable I decided to move forward with surgery. I am 8 weeks out and I am pain free and feel relief after 8 years of pain. Thank you Dr. Yashar! I highly recommend this doctor as he truly cares about his patients."

"I came to Dr Yashar after my first doctor said fusion surgery, and my second doctor fell out of network.

He had a nurse(?) take notes during the whole appointment and he answered all of my questions. I came in asking for surgery. He tried talk me out of it, but after explaining all the previous treatment I had been doing for the past 4 to 5 months with my previous doctor, he agreed. Imagine that, a surgeon who doesn’t jump straight to surgery!

Surgery was easy, and minimally invasive. He kept my husband informed as much as possible, and kept me from having to have spinal fusion surgery. In short, he cleaned the area out around the nerve in my back. I had instant relief when I woke up. When there was a minor issue the following day that was no fault of the doctor, Dr Yashar came by on his way into work to make sure I was taken care of and knew what happened and that it wasn’t uncommon. I was highly impressed that he stopped by when other doctors wouldn’t have even given a phone call.

Dr Yashar was very kind and caring. It’s been two almost three years since my surgery and I still feel great!"

"Dr Yashar was perhaps the best experience I’ve had with a doctor! I was suffering from considerable neck pain stemming from c5-c6 injury. I initially had reservations about alnedk surgery and Dr Yashar was very sympathetic to the concerns I had.

We discussed all options and I eventually decided to go ahead with a disc replacement surgery. The surgery and recovery was much better than I had anticipated. The instructions for my rehabilitation were clear and easy. The pain was far less than I had expected and the post-op communication from the doctor and his staff was flawless.. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much Dr Yashar"

"I highly recommend Dr. Yashar! His medical expertise, high-energy positivity, genuine friendliness, and thorough explanation of options and procedures instilled in me a strong sense of confidence and comfort iin him. His practice readily accepted my HMO insurance, and scheduling staff was very efficient and helpful. His 8th floor office, which partially validates covered parking, features an extraordinary large, comforable lobby is furnished with huge leather chairs, side tables with lamps, and full-length windows that introduce northern daylight and expansive views of the Beverly Center and Hollywood Hills beyond - each visit's wait is pleasantly similar to an airport first class lounge experience!"

"As a surgeon myself, my neck is extremely important in my daily life. A few years back I had a bad disc in my neck and required surgery. I ended up with two surgeries, one of which Dr. Yashar, performed. Today, Dr. Yashar, is not only my partner in practice, but he is my surgeon and one of my closest friends. I have never written a review for another physician but I am compelled to write this review so I can help guide others and pay it forward. He is compassionate, caring, and most importantly of all he is a conservative surgeon. That means that he does everything under the sun to avoid surgery. But when it comes down to needing surgery, he is incredible in the operating room… “Great hands“. I trust him with my life!"

"I waited 2 years tell after my sugary to write this review so that I could write the best review. Dr. Yashar was not the first doctor I spoke to about my back problems, I tried everything but surgery first, as the back is not to be messed with. That is until it was unbearable and I would be in tears just to tie my shoe laces. I am a 43 year old athlete who got sick and tired of being sick and tired, so I finally did the work meet with a few doctors, did some cross references with family in the medical field, and by some miracle I found this wonderful Doctor....that actually excepted my insurance. whoo wooo!!!! One of the fist things I noted was how aware Dr. Yashar was, I know this may not seem like anything to some people but if this person is going to be woking on my back, that was important to me. We decided to go with the minimally, invasive, ablation surgery because of my age, etc. I am so glad I did. It was amazing, I wasn't looking for a miracle at this point, I just wanted some relief....and that I got! I am still learning that I can use my back to be honest, so my core isn't as strong as I would like, and I think this will help with my back even more. After so many years not using my back because of pain, I can not expect over night results..... I too need to do the work as well. But little by little I am now finding more mobility in my back and strength. I am also honest about my future, eventually if I am not kind to myself, I am going to need another surgery down the line...or maybe no matter how kind I am to myself, I will need more work on my back down the line (...I am trying to be realistic) But if and when I do, I will definitely go back to Dr Yashar, I am so grateful to him and the surgery. If I had to do it all over again I would! Thank you so much for helping me to be able to tie my shoes with a smile:-)"
