When your doctor says “You need to see a spine surgeon immediately,” your world stops turning for a moment. That was my reality when severe neck pain progressed to numbness in my fingers and sudden loss of strength in my right tricep.
Those weren’t just symptoms. They were desperate signals from my body that i’d ignored for too long.
After interviewing several specialists with my detailed list of 37 questions (yes, I am that person), I found Dr. Christopher Yeung. His expertise as the spine surgeon for professional athletes immediately impressed me, but it was his compassionate understanding of how this affected every aspect of my life that truly made the difference.
This video is my heartfelt thank you to Dr. Christopher Yeung and the incredible team at Desert Institute for Spine Care that was filmed back in 2022, three months after my surgery. Dr. Yeung didn’t just perform a cervical disc replacement, he gave me back my future.
