Dr. Yanni's goals are to provide cutting-edge least invasive procedures to alleviate pain, restore function and return people to their work and active lifestyle. Although he treats all types of acute and chronic pain, his real passion is endoscopic spine surgery, a least invasive subspecialty shown to be an excellent alternative to open back surgery with little downtime, less post-operative pain, faster return to work and superior patient satisfaction. Education: Dr. Yanni completed medical school at Cairo University School of Medicine, where he graduated with highest honors. He then moved to Los Angeles to join the department of surgery for a post-doctoral fellowship in surgery at the UCLA School of Medicine. After his post-doctoral fellowship, he completed a surgical internship where he rotated through multiple surgical specialties including neurosurgery. He finished his Anesthesia residency in the top 5% of his peers at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ).
