About the expert

Doctor Yeh currently works as a Consult Neurosurgeon and Spinal Surgeon at the London Independent Hospital, Highgate Private Hospital and The Holly Private Hospital. He has a doctorate in spinal biomechanics, has several publications and has presented at poster conferences worldwide. He adopts the concept of minimally invasive treatments, as he believes that surgery should be as minimally invasive as possible, for less discomfort, quicker recovery times and to reduce post-operative pain.

    Dr Yeh studied at the University of Cambridge and undertook his training in neurosurgery and his spinal fellowship in the UK. He worked as a Senior Lecturer and Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spinal Surgeon at the Queen Mary University of London, St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London Hospitals from 2003 to 2013. While in this role Mr Yeh was the Lead Consultant for complex spinal surgery and for two years he was the Head of the Neurosurgery department.

    Mr Yeh is one of a small number of specialists in the UK who has expertise in the laser spinal disc procedures. He prides himself in a minimally-invasive ethos in his practice. He believes that many spinal conditions can be managed effectively without resorting to surgery. He believes that surgery should be as minimally invasive as possible for shorter recovery time and minimal post-operative pain.

    Dr Yeh's research interest includes biomaterials, spinal biomechanics and minimally invasive spinal surgery. He has written several publications, delivered oral and poster presentations at local, national and international meetings and has worn several awards.
