Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor and was recommended by one of my friends to see Dr. Yao. I was so grateful to have Dr. Yao as my neurosurgeon. The surgery went extremely well and the recovery has made big progress. I highly recommend Dr. Yao and his service.

By the time I got to Dr Kevin Yao I was a mess. I had lost use of my right arm. Dr. Yao did a ct on my spinal cord from the top of my head. He diagnosed me, gave me his plan and a week later I had the surgery. I have so much confidence in this docter. I was completely healed and went on to win another b.b.contest. Most of all my entire life was restored. Thank you God for Dr. Kevin Yao. God Bless you Dr.Yao!!!Amen
