Why did we choose Dr. Daniel S. Yanni, MD, FAANS as one of our Top Doctors?
Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. Daniel Yanni as a top spine surgeon in Newport Beach because of his fellowship training, his minimally invasive focus, and his conservative approach. He earned his medical degree at UC San Diego and a neuroscience degree from UCLA, summa cum laude. He completed his neurological surgery residency at Rutgers University/NJMS, where he served as administrative chief resident. After that, he finished a minimally invasive spine surgery fellowship at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital and Columbia University in Manhattan. This training prepares him for both routine and complex spine cases.
What we like most about Dr. Yanni is his habit of trying the simplest option first. He has said that more than 80 percent of the patients who visit his office do not get surgery.
