Dr. Steven Yang, Briz Brain & Spine

I’m very impressed by Dr Yang’s professional expertise and also for the way his team have assisted him in my medical care. I do not hesitate to recommend him and his team.

Brilliant spinal surgeon.

Unbelievable. I had spinal operation two years ago and had so much body pain.Since then my resilience made me work on rehabilitation spinal exercises. I went through hell. He has no social and communication skills. He is so egotistical and has no compassion.He has no heart. All about money and himself. Don't go there. Trust me. Worst experience. After two years I had this opportunity to apply for government job I went back to him to get medical clearance, took a month He sent the report which he mentioned I'm not fit for physical training at all.
He just destroyed my career and my life by that

My partner sought treatment through Dr yang. He was very bad with communication and sending reports. Went on holidays and had no notification or communication which resulted in mass loss of wages due to 2 week downtime with sending the report for clearence. Was also very rude in his reports. Man needs his medicla license revoked with the amount of disgusting reviews about him

I finally saw Dr Yang after waiting 2 days in St Andrews Emergency, even though I was told he was in the hospital. I had been having back pain, had MRIs done and had just had a fall. He told me that Emergency Depts were for emergencies and I obviously wasn't one. Then said that at 79 nobody would operate on me. When I said that until recently I was very fit with no co-morbidities, he informed me that 'well, that may be so but when you fall and break a hip, you're done'. 8 minutes and a bill for $400. Fortunately I did not take his advice (how many would have?) and had a successful laminectomy by one of his colleagues -- who had no problem with my age. I recovered very quickly, am fit and have no pain.

Not sure if Mr Yang was having a bad day but my experience was far from pleasant.

I was referred to him to review scans for a disc implant I have and am still having trouble with.
-He asked/told me my I was seeing him because he couldn’t help me.
- Informed me I’d had the wrong scans done and they were good.
-Told me I should write to the surgeon that performed the previous surgery to tell him that he lied to me and performed the wrong surgery and shouldn’t have put an implant in that position.

Now all of these were clearly not my doing and out of my hands but he felt the need to put it all on me or thats how it came across.
I asked his office if he dealt with these issues beforehand and he obviously excepted my referral from my GP.

I expected a lot more from someone in his position.
I’m quite fragile mentally at the moment following 2 spine surgeries in he last 2 years and ongoing pain.
It got to the point where I got up and walked out of the appointment because I was nearly in tears.
I went to my car and cried and seriously considered my future in this planet.
I actually called my psychologist to see if she was free whilst in the car because I needed to talk to someone.

Mr Yang still expected his $285 bill to be paid even though I left there with more questions and in a worst position then before.

I have not received any answers from DR just stating I need surgery. No proper check, giving me tablets for pain and show up if I still have a pain? Even my Physio was surprised by this attitude.
I am sorry but I do not feel he cared, just make sure you pay 280$ for 10min visit.
