About Dr. Yasmeh

He finished medical school at the University of Southern California in 2012. He did his undergraduate work at UCLA, graduating summa cum laude. His orthopedic surgery residency was at LAC + USC Medical Center.

His spine surgery fellowship took place at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. His philosophy is evidence-based care that focuses on procedures that minimize risk and maximize recovery. He customizes each treatment plan around the patient's needs, lifestyle and goals.

For patients told they need spinal fusion, he checks whether motion-preserving options such as laminoplasty or artificial disc replacement may fit. His fellowship included specialized work in cervical laminoplasty, which preserves motion instead of fusing. He loves to travel and wants to experience as many countries and cultures as possible.

He also enjoys basketball and live music.
