a year agoI am forever grateful for the spinal fusion Dr. Yassir performed on me 10 years ago. I am 22yrs old now, and my back is doing just fine! Iโve had no constant pain, discomfort, or need for revision surgery.

5 years agoMy daughter tore her ACL in 6th grade. Dr. Yassir put our minds at ease, patiently answered all of my questions, and did an awesome repair. She was able to return to sports and played high school soccer and now plays D1 hockey in college. We will forever be thankful for Dr. Yassir's good work.

6 years agoDr. YASSIR is a great doctor. My son was born with half his foot bones missing. Two degree TIB/FIB ...he did everything I asked when it came to our son. He went through all our options. When we got done he told me it was the best decision I made for my son. I was 22 years old when I did my sons foot surgery March 9 2012.... him and staff is like our family. Our son is now six years old he can do anything anyone else can do but better because he can do it with one foot....since I took my sons foot prior to six months he learned to do everything with out a prosthetic and with. I told the doctors I wanted a prosthetic made before he was 9 months so he learned to crawl with a prosthetic, he learned to walk with one, he learned to run with one, but he also learned to do all those things without one. Dr YASSIR created a pad with part of my sons foot that made it so he could walk on it. Our son is very adaptable because of the way I asked for the doctor and his team to do things. I have zero regrets. Heโs a great doctor that listens to the parents and actually hears their thought process. He actually tries to do what the parents ask.... you wonโt regret being with him and his team. John Family.
