Neurosurgeons - Charlottesville, VA

"I had a spinal fusion as a teenager (with another provider) and was continuing to have complications and made an appointment with Dr. Yen at UVA after a referral from my pain management specialist. I went through all the imaging he ordered and had a follow-up visit. Throughout the appointment, he only spoke to my husband and would not make eye contact with me, the patient. He said I was a candidate for another fusion, but he wasn't sure if there would be enough room on my spine, so he would review my imaging and schedule another visit. This was in December 2023. I called his office in February 2024 to follow-up after I hadn't heard anything, and the office told me he was working on a simulation to see if a fusion was feasible. It is now nearly June, and I have never been called. There has been no follow-up from his office and nothing entered in MyChart since the phone call I initiated in February. This was a huge investment in time and money for absolutely zero communication."
