The spine is an interconnected complex of bones, nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that provide support to the body as well as our ability to stand straight up. The vertebrae are the bony building blocks of the spine which are supported by the discs in between them. Unfortunately as part of the aging process as well as many other conditions, these components can become damaged and cause pain, neurological symptoms, or loss of mobility. A microdiscectomy is a procedure used to treat a lumbar herniated disc, and subsequently treat leg pain, known as radiculopathy.
A spinal disc is a rubbery cushion between the individual bones of the vertebrae that stack up and make your spine. A herniated disc occurs when one of these rubbery cushions ruptures. A spinal disc is similar to a jelly doughnut because it has a tougher exterior and softer center. A herniated disc is like a jelly doughnut when the "jelly" pushes through the tougher exterior.

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!

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

Consultation. Dr Yashar is very informative, knowledgeable and, honest. I recently had a consult in regards to my L5/S1 disc herniation and S1 nerve root compression. I have no hesitation in visiting Dr Yashar again as he was very professional and sincere on the way forward with my situation. Thank you Dr Yashar for your good nature, honesty and, expertise.

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 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!

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!

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.

Dr yashar is a greedy doctor he charged me 900$ for a consultation! He told me he was in my network and he's not and now I am getting harassed by collection companies. This doctor is a greedy sneaky physician I would never reccomed him to anyone I know. Stay away from him if you don't want to have to file bankruptcy and have your credit ruined

The best doctor I could ever ask for! He literally saved my life. Last year I had a brain aneurysm and in the hospital the doctors had 2 options for my problem and my husband had to make a desicion and when he choose they told him we have the BEST doctor for that peocedure! I now I know they really did. After that my life changed forever! He did the surgery, everything I know of him is from my mom!
She doesn't speak english at all but she told me he always checked on me! He was so nice, professional, on time. Thanks to him I am here back with my family! Im 100% back, when at the hospital most of the patients dont make it or if they do then they have some kind of issue thanks to him I am living my life just like before! I still see him for followups and he is so nice, knowledgeable, professional, he cares about his patients. Im truly thankful to him for the rest of my life. I would recomend him to everybody!

Dr. Yashar is one of the most outstanding physicians that I've encountered! I came to him because I was having persistent pain in my neck and back, as well as some numbness in my arm and leg. Dr. Yashar was very kind and caring with his approach in moving forward. After reviewing my MRIs with me in detail, he decided that surgery would be too aggressive at this point. [Thankfully] He gave me some exercises and therapeutic solutions to ease my discomfort. I will continue to see him and recommend all of my family and friends to him!

I came today for second opinion on my herniated lower back disk and met Dr. Yashar, very knowledgeable and caring. He listened to all my concerns and recommended few more testing before even considering surgery. Straight forward, confident and very professional. Most importantly, it was no wait to see him, he was on time. The office is super clean and the staff especially the front desk lady were very nice. I highly recommend.

Dr. Yashar was amazing. I was recommended to him by Dr. Noor (Body Pro Chiropractic in Santa Monica) after experiencing pain in my back. It turned out I had a tumor on my spine and it hit some nerves and caused an excruciating amount of pain. Dr. Yashar explained everything in a way I could understand and really kept me and my family's mind at ease.
It only took a week before Dr. Yashar had me in surgery (on a Saturday, which is very rare). I've never had surgery before, but to get all tests and paperwork transferred from one place to another that fast was amazing. The surgery went so well, that afterwards in recovery the nurses were surprised that I had just had surgery. Dr. Yashar and his staff are great and made going through this process so much easier by not having to worry about the paperwork or anything and just focusing on limiting the pain. I would recommend him to anyone

Dr. Yashar was very open and informational about my diagnosis. He let me make the choice of surgery or trying other temporary options. Surgery was easy and I was able to go home the same day. Dr. Yashar and his staff are very professional, yet personable. I recommend Dr. Yashar to anyone with a spinal problem. Sherri G. Santa Clarita, CA

I contacted Dr. Yashar post labor when I began experiencing sharp spinal pains in my back. After thoroughly reading my MRI, Dr. Yashar immediately put me at ease with a plan to alleviate the pain I was experiencing. I appreciated that he did not jump to a surgical procedure and reassured me that physical therapy would be a good alternative. He followed up with me regularly and oversaw my injury as I was doing physical therapy.
His attention and care was not necessary as my injury was minor in comparison to others.he's a neurosurgeon for goodness sake. However, he took my case into his hands and treated it equally. I can now hold my kids without any, let alone excruciating pain and for that I am forever indebted. I would recommend him any day of the week. Thank you Dr. Yashar!
