Dr. Anthony T. Yeung, M.D., is the Founder and President of the Arizona Institute for Minimally Invasive Spine Care. He is a board-certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeon who specializes in diagnosing and treating the causes of back pain and sciatica from painful degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine, particularly herniated discs, bulging discs with annular tears, and foraminal stenosis. His techniques have proven to be very effective in relieving both back and leg pain, a result which has eluded many spine specialists, because he targets and visualizes the pain generator with his endoscope, using imaging as a guide, but confirming the pain source with diagnostic and therapeutic injections. He is the first to use endoscopically guided lasers and is the developer of the FDA-approved Yeung Endoscopic Spine System (YESS™). Additionally, Dr. Yeung is a lecturer and a prolific author of over 135 scientific publications on his technique. He was named a "Health Care Hero" by the Phoenix Business Journal. Dr. Yeung has served as the President of the Maricopa County Medical Society, the Arizona Orthopedic Society, the Western Orthopedic Society: AZ Chapter, and the Board of the Arizona Medical Association. He is a former President of the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeons, and the current Executive Director of the International Intradiscal Therapy Society (IITS).
