I had unbearable backache last year for at least 4 months or so. Lots of Epidural shots and nerve blocks. Nothing... helped me. Someone recommended to see Dr Justin Field. Made an appointment and saw him . He told me you can have Discectomy next week. I had my surgery. He is amazing. I can not thank you enough Dr Field. Now after a year, I run and exercise so much more. I feel totally great. I highly recommend him to everyone. The staff and his PA are so nice.read more

He doesn’t rush... through your appointment, he takes time to explain what’s going on, allows you to ask questions, and if a family member is with you, he allows them to ask questions also. He’s very respectful, kind and patient.

I'm 67 years old and have been active my entire life. But somehow, that all changed after yoga class (go figure!) on... October 10, 2019. Since that date eight months ago, I have been unable to walk more than 1/4 mile or stand longer than 2-3 minutes before pain forced me to stop walking and/or sit down. The pain has been a constant (and unwelcome) companion. And after 6 months, it was starting to erode my generally positive outlook on life. Chronic pain is miserable! Before considering back surgery, I tried physical therapy (26 sessions), chiropractic (24 sessions), and had 3 lumbar epidurals. Despite the genuine, caring efforts of the professionals in these 3 disciplines, nothing helped. The pain remained.
Dr. Nima Salari performed a discectomy on May 14, 2020. Due to COVID-19, and the national effort to keep as many hospital beds as possible available for COVID-19 patients, my discectomy was rescheduled 5-times before it actually took place. We got it done on May 14. I spent that night in the hospital. On May 15, I was able to walk down the hospital hallway unassisted WITH NO PAIN! It was like a miracle! I was discharged from the hospital later that same day. My background is science. I believe in science & medicine, occasional miracles, but definitely not politicians who profess to know medicine! I am grateful to Dr. Salari, Physicians Assistant Nick Davis, Rick Harrison, Tayler Berryman and many others, who helped make my surgery happen. Throughout the process, I was treated with respect. All of my questions were answered. All of my concerns were addressed. Without reservation, I recommend Dr. Nima Salari. He’s a personable guy and a gifted surgeon.
Two days after my surgery, I was at home in Ahwatukee and had to call Dr. Salari. It was Saturday. I left a message with his answering service. Dr. Salari called me back within 2 or 3 minutes, a response time practically unheard of today! I’m writing this review on my 6th day post-surgery. I walked 5/8 mile this morning with no pain. After my recovery period of 2-6 weeks is over, I'll be done! I am very grateful to Dr. Salari, The DISC Institute, (Desert Institute for Spine Care) and the dedicated medical professionals who do some miraculous things up there on Myrtle Avenue! Thank you all for helping me regain my active life! I’ve missed it and am glad to have it back!!
Sincerely,
Larry Matje, Ahwatukeeread more

Dr. Christopher Yeung is amazing! I am a 57 years old female and very active. I injured my back by stepping off a... ladder while painting and missed the last step on the ladder. I herniated my L5 S1 disk. I went to Dr. Yeung and we went through all the recommended physical therapy treatment that I could possibly have done. And then the worse happened. The disk collapsed and I could not stand or walk on my own. My husband had to pick me up out of the bed and out of chairs. I went back to Dr. Yeung and he said I needed to have the disk fused. I was terrified of this procedure. But he walked me through it with compassion and care. The day of surgery went well, 2 hours after the surgery I was up and walking again. I am 6 months out from the surgery at this point and have zero pain in my lower back. I am walking 18 minute miles and becoming more active every day. Five stars is not enough for the way I feel. He deserves a 100. I would highly recommend Dr. Yeung. KMartinread more

I followed Dr. Abrams to the Spine Institute where he recently performed a fairly complex cervical fusion. His... attention to detail, explanations, and his care team involved are awesome. Factual, friendly, and REALLY listens. Explains options and probable outcomes allowing me to make solid decisions. In a recent post-surgery follow-up, the consideration the entire staff provided to the current health concerns was comforting- everyone stayed apart- temps were checked prior to entering the office- appts were spread to reduce congregating in the waiting room. I give the entire operations a high 5!!read more

I was referred to Dr. Field for my back pain by a friend for my back pain. He and his wife both had back surgery by... Dr. Field and highly recommended him.
Dr Field performed Spinal Stenosis and spinal fusion on my back (L3-4-5) on February 21st 2020. I am very, very happy with his work, my radiating pain in my buttocks and down my legs is completely gone and the recovery has been very much easier than I was thinking it would be.
I put this surgery off for 6 years anticipating that recovery and risk might take a long time. Much to my surprise I am totally happy with the results and recover process. I wish I would have done this surgery a long time ago. Putting it off was foolish. I can now stand, walk and participate in activities I have missed for over 6 years.
Thank you Dr. Fieldread more

👍 I was lucky enough to be able to meet Dr. Christopher Young and physician assistant Chad White. They took one look... at my MRI independently and told me they could definitely see my problem and that they could fix it. Working with the scheduler and being from Alaska, Taylor Berryman went out of her way to get me scheduled as soon as possible. Surgery was completed February 20 and I have been pain-free since then. Their professionalism and customer service is above and beyond. I would recommend them at the highest level.read more

I am in my pre-surgery stage. I have Extreme sciatic pain in my legs and back and an issue with my spine. I am in a... great deal of pain I have a hard time even getting around my home. Desert Institute for spine was recommended to me by a friend who had back surgery. From the time I entered a very pleasant office I was amazed at the personalized care I was given from the receptionist, to the x-ray technician, To the PA, and finally Dr. Field who was excellent. He explained very clearly and with confidence what needed to be done and why, and presto I’m on the schedule for surgery which was Facilitated by a very helpful scheduling person. I am at home now waiting for my surgery which will be sooner than I expected and I can’t believe I’m saying I’m looking forward to it.

Thank you to DISC for the outstanding care! I've suffered with lower back pain for years. After years of physical... therapy and epidural injections the pain only continued to get worse and limited my daily activities. After meeting with Dr. Christopher Yeung he was able to tell me what was wrong and give me a treatment plan. Dr. Yeung preformed the surgery on my L4 and L5 six weeks ago and I now have my life back! I am able to walk several miles a day, ride bike, and slowly work on my golf game and there is no pain. A huge thank you to Dr. Yeung it is so wonderful to be pain free!

I had an M6 artificial disc implanted yesterday morning July 31, 2019 by Dr. Christopher Yeung at C6-C7 and everyone at... DISC was superb for prep, during and after the surgery. Extremely kind staff and doctors.
I’ve had immediate relief for what has been at times excruciating left arm nerve pain that severely impacted my lifestyle since last year and after trying many non-surgical treatments that failed to provide results, decided with my doctor that either fusion or artificial disc replacement (ADR) was my next option. He recommended DISC and Dr. Yeung explained both options and left me the choice saying I was a good candidate for either. I chose ADR because of the faster recovery time and concern that fusion can in some cases accelerate adjacent cervical deterioration. I was fortunate that Dr. Yeung was involved in the trials of the M6-C that was recently approved by the FDA, the most experienced surgeon in the Southwest with the M6 and he recommended it as the best current technology being available with the best range of motion.
I didn’t expect my recovery process to be so smooth and I even sat up with family for dinner the same night. The shooting nerve pain in my arm which was at times was completely debilitating has vanished and and I am so thankful to everyone at DISC and particularly Dr. Chis Yeung.read more

For several years, my sweet husband, Scott Davis, has been plagued with back pain, particularly lower back pain. ... Because the pain was becoming so oppressive, he sought help at local pain management clinics, and followed their protocols enduring a series of epidurals and finally an ablation, all yielding only temporary relief.
In early May, suffering the worst pain yet, he walked into the DISC office on Myrtle Avenue in Phoenix, and implored the receptionist for an appointment to see Dr. Chris Yeung. She instructed Scott to obtain an MRI and when completed, she would schedule an appointment. Long story short, Scott saw Dr. Yeung within days, and on May 9th had his surgery, only a week after walking into the office in incredible pain!
Scott is now almost totally pain free (feeling only some pain at the incision). We couldn’t be happier, and we are so very grateful not only to that wonderful receptionist who showed Scott such kindness, but to Dr. Yeung and his great staff. We couldn’t recommend these terrific doctors enough. If you are suffering with back pain, no matter what the cause, don’t hesitate to call on these fabulous miracle workers. Definitely 5 stars ⭐️ !read more

I was a patient of Dr. Nima Salari, he and his immediate staff as well as the office staff are professionally... subordinate to none.
I contacted Dr. Salari, with a pain in my right hip joint, that might have been driven by an suspected irregularity in my spine.
The problem was identified, via an MRI, and diagnosed rapidly by the doctor and his staff.
The next step was an operation to remove a cyst near my spinal cord around the L4/L5 area.
The operation was about an hour. the recovery time was about 2 weeks, and I don't think that I needed all that.
8 weeks later, I have a clean bill of health, and I am now ready to go back to my professional pole dancing job.
I walk like a man, I no longer have pain, the operation wound healed like no trauma ever existed.
Thank You folks for giving me a pain free life again.

I am a retired female educator and I have been suffering with back and leg pain for decades but in the past two years... my ability to hike, enjoy playing with my grandchildren, working out, and playing golf all but disappeared.
I tried Yoga, pilates tai chi; I went through physical therapy, acupuncture, saw a chiropractor; tried over the counter medications and then tried steroid shots. There was very little improvement that didn’t last more than a few days. I knew I needed something more drastic if I wanted to resume my previous life. My primary care doctor sent me for an MRI and an X-ray and I searched for a neurosurgeon. I found Dr. Yeung at DISC. The experience with him has been life changing.
Dr. Yeung said that I would need surgery, a fusion of my L4 and L5 and a laminectomy. I was fine with the laminectomy but the fusion really scared me. I’ve heard so many stories about fusions that went poorly, but I’ve known many people who had a laminectomy and were pain free. Dr. Yeung said he would do the laminectomy but that he truly believed that I needed the fusion. My husband and I went home and discussed what Dr. Yeung had suggested and decided to go with the fusion and the laminectomy.
Dr. Yeung was so professional and the confidence he exhibited when he explained the MRI and the X-ray of my back made me realize that I made the right decision to have surgery. I was still frightened but after my post-op with Dr. Yeung all of my fears disappeared. He made me feel that everything was going to go well and it did.
It’s now six weeks later and I don’t have any nerve or leg pain. I have walked 4 plus miles in one day and two miles on a flat hiking path without stopping. I’m getting stronger each day but I have to hold myself back from doing too much because I feel so good.
I am so grateful that I went to Dr. Yeung for my surgery. He is a kind, patient, understanding very skilled neurosurgeon. I would recommend him to anyone who suffers from any type of back problems. He is truthful and will not suggest a procedure unless he believes that he can alleviate your pain.
Thank you Dr. Yeung!read more

I have been dealing with hip pain, leg pain and foot pain for well over a year. I’ve gone to chiropractors, physical... therapy, acupuncture, injections and finally had enough. There wasn’t any relief that lasted for more than a week. Since my last physician told me I wasn’t a candidate for surgery and my options were to live with it or do injections. To me that wasn’t the options I wanted to live with. I had a MRI disc of my lower back to bring with me. Since we are snowbirds we decided to look here for a doctor that specializes in the spine. I called from home in Ohio and made an appointment for the end of the month. When we got out here I called to see if I could get in earlier. To our amazement we got in that day! I found out I had a slipped disc and narrowing of the disc space. Surgery was explained in depth by Dr Abrams. It was set up for two weeks later! When I awoke from surgery I had no pain in the hip, leg or foot!! I can’t praise DISC enough. Even after two weeks, which is where I am at now, I don’t hurt anymore! Healing from the surgery is totally different than what I felt before. I CAN LIVE LIFE AGAIN!!!! THANKS DR ABRAMS AND ALL THE STAFF.read more

I have had pain in my lower back,/calf when standing or walking from pressure on the nerves in L4/L5 and L5/S1 for the... last year and a half. Had epidural injections last year that helped until I tripped this year and then nothing helped. Saw Dr. Joshua Abrams for a second opinion on surgery and he recommended that I have the minimally invasive surgery to clean out the area around the nerves and relieve the pressure. Two weeks and 1 day since the surgery and I am pain free. In fact, I only took half a pain pill the night after the surgery in case I would need it. Every day I feel better than the day before and I'm almost back up to 10,000 steps a day and plan to increase them. Desert Institute for Spine Care has my recommendation and Dr. Abrams is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for giving me my life backread more

I had my spinal fusion in July 2017 after years of seeking out pain management, physical therapy, chiropractor... appointments, etc.
Dr. Anthony Yeung performed a endoscopic discectomy initially because I was terrified of a spinal fusion. He told me it likely would require more but was willing to try the least invasive procedure first. After a few months it was obvious I needed what he called the “big surgery” and turned me over to his son Christopher.
The minute I woke up from surgery I knew something was different. Nerve pain is so much different than any other pain and it was gone. I left the hospital the next day and my life was forever changed. Recovery was simple, the hardest part was having patience and not doing the things that I felt I could try. It has been a little over year and I am back to full activity with no limitations or pain.read more

I got a recommendation to this doctor and Dr. Anthony Yeung from 2 friends 2 years ago after suffering with severe... sciatica for 10 years. Dr. Salari and the entire staff was so kind and efficient. I live 6 hours from the office and they offered me an alternative of sending all my records for an evaluation so I would have to just come for preop and treatment. I wanted to meet them 1st, though. I had to have a little more surgery because I had waited too long but it was totally successful unlike other friends who still have pain. When my husband started having problems this year that got really painful, we didn't even bother calling other doctors our orthopedist recommended. He was in and out in 1 day and totally pain free since. They even called the house for 1 of the follow ups so we wouldn't have to drive the 6 hours 1 way.

I had gone to therapy which helped for awhile but the pain never really stopped. I also went to a chiropractor which helped relieve the pain somewhat but it always returned. I even went the shot route but it didnt help either. Finally I had had it so I went to see Dr. Christopher Yeung at Desert Spine Clinic regarding possible surgery. He set me up for May 2nd. I am now pretty much pain free other than the normal from surgery. I feel great and would recommend this clinic and doctor. Thank you again for giving me a new lease on being active again.read more

This is the most professional, caring group of orthopedic surgeons I have ever encountered. As a retired nurse that is... saying alot. Dr. Nima Salari performed surgery on my friend 2 weeks ago and this is the first time he has been pain free since Oct 2015. No more sciatica. What a blessing. I was impressed with their whole operation from the time you step into their office you are greeted by 2 smiling receptionist. Our appointment was for 10 a.m. at 9:55 a.m. we were escorted into see the PA and then Dr. Salari. Surgery was at the Core Hospital in Phoenix and we were extremely pleased with their service. After going thru the very unprofessional experience with Laser Spine Institute and North American, DISC was a true breath of fresh air. My advice to anyone is DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Don't settle for these outfits who want $15,000 up front and are not covered by Medicare.read more

After months of neck and arm pain due to a herniated disc I had an artificial disc inserted into my cervical spine. The... procedure was part of a clinical trial and was performed by Dr. Nima Salari. Before surgery I was miserable and saw immediate and amazing improvement following the procedure. Dr. Salari and every staff member I dealt with were friendly and professional every step of the way. At my most recent visit I was impressed that although I hadn't been there in a year they all remembered me, my fiancé, and my son as if they had just seen me last week.read more

I first started seeing Dr. Christopher Yeung 5 years ago. I had fusion done. I was amazing for the first 2 years. I... started to have pain again not sure why. I had Radio Frequency Rhizotomy done. Amazing for 2 years. I started going to another Dr. and they did something similar to this procedure. I didn't like that I was having to go once a week. I just wanted it done. I was doing research on other doctors and I don't know why. I finally came back to see Dr. Christopher Yeung. It is really hard to trust doctors now a days. I 100% trust that Dr. Yeung does whats best for me. I would highly recommend anyone of the doctors that are at D.I.S.C.!read more

Dr Anthony Yeung performed my procedure(s). Unfortunately my disc re-herniated which meant I needed a revision... surgery. There is a very small chance of that happening so lucky me! Dr Yeung was great to deal with. He is very light hearted and his humor keep what can be a tough situation bearable! After my second procedure I have great relief and am back doing what I love to do. The surgery was absolutely painless! Such an amazing technique with great results. Thank you Dr. Yeung!read more

I had a L5/S1 fusion after a laminectomy from a different group of doctors in Florida didn't solve anything. I suffered... for six years on pain medications. I finally found a group of physician's that are not only the best in their fields but have the latest cutting edge technology. They were realistic, kind hearted and really listened to me. I felt as if I was being treated like family. My surgeon is not only one of the best in his field but he is the kindest, most intelligent down to earth doctors I have ever met. Dr. Justin Field made it clear what to expect with the outcome of my surgery and he was spot on. Thanks for my life back and my family is grateful to have their Dad and Husband back too.read more

Spine related problem are common among people of different age groups, among young people these are due to trauma and... in old age it's caused by degeneration in bones , osteoarthritis ,sometime it cause compression of nerves , with the result one get pain in his back with radiation to lower limbs ,it may be on one side or both depending upon the site of compression , for that some use painkillers and some pain is very severe and no painkillers works , in olden days people used to have hip traction to have decompression but know we can not afford that , people want immediate relief so for that you have to surgical intervention with minimum damage so it is good to have it done if advised by surgeon .read more

Let me start with this office is top notch medical treatment and I am so thankful they are in Phoenix. I am 95% pain... free and a very active athlete. Dr Field and Lisa Crimaldi I could sing songs about-However the front part of the office needs help with communication. There is little between them and the billing department. Make sure you know your co-pay and your insurance exceptions or they will try to overcharge you every time. Also be very careful with the scheduler as this is what happened to me today. Im so frustrated, when I called to move my appt 10 days ago...the scheduler changed the time not the day of the appt so they didn't have me down today, I wasted 1.5 hours of my life and a sick pharmacist could have stayed home instead of covering my appt. I even offered to wait however long bc I don't take too much time of the dr's as I am 6 months post op. There was no apology or even a possibility they made the mistake at all and absolutely no way to squeeze my ten min consult in. Just a "well we can see you another day..." As most active 30 year olds with full time careers "another day" is not always easy to find. Not to mention life during work hours asking for an appt and leaving is nothing short of a short staffed pharmacists miracle. So verify everything twice and still I recommend the office as it is worth it to be "normal" again.read more
