Minimally Invasive Brain and Spine Institute Yan Michael Li MD PhD FAANS , San Antonio/Austin Office

I had been attempting to find a Dr. That could handle my extensive cervical accident. I was fortunate enough to have 3 extremely honest Dr.s tell me straight out the following: "Mr. McDaniel, you have a choice to make.. either you can have your whole cervical spine fused together here and have no mobility at all. Or you can go meet Dr. Li... Yes we can do the surgery. That is not a problem. But this Dr. Is better". " We recommend you take the referral ". I am so glad I listened to them. Dr. Li is amazing, patient, gracious and humble. He was very up front and transparent from the start. When he realized I was working full time for the past 8 months with a shattered c1, broken c2&c3. He had his amazing team find room for me to get into surgery within 2 weeks from the time I first had a con

Dr Li and his staff always have my best interest in mind. Dr Li precisely explains the care I need and he and his staff have my confidence in regard to my Healthcare needs. Natalie also fully answers my questions and it’s always a pleasure to speak with her. Thank You.

Dr Li is Amazing! He is fixing another Dr’s mess… and definitely doing a Fantastic job! Been in pain for years and was told there was nothing could be done about my neck… he was able to do his magic and bam 💥 my pain went from a 10 to a 2… Dr Li is Awesome! He cleaned up a big mess that another provider made in my back… including patching up a small tear where spinal fluid was leaking putting in new titanium hardware and taking out the bag of bones that was just hanging out in there… clean up all the scare tissue and as a bonus he also took care and cauterized a couple of nerves in my neck that were hurting me… I went into surgery around 1pm and came out about 9:30pm… he kept my family updated throughout the surgery… and he is very humble… not once did he mention anything negative abou

Dr. Li and his staff have taken care of my mother for several years, so when I started having major issues and saw several doctors in Austin, I knew I had to go to San Antonio for Dr. Li’s opinion. I am so glad I did! He gave me options that other doctors had not offered that are not as drastic with a 1/8 of the down time. I am so grateful for him and his staff and finally have hope again for my pain and prognosis!

I lived with a level 6-7 back pain all day long and walking was also difficult just from the parking lot into a store (one city block). Swimming was also painful. Then, Dr. Li treated me with lumbar epidural injections and then a few days later, I woke up and totally forgot my pain. I was walking quickly, swimming, doing everything I loved to do. A few days later, I saw a woman using a walker and remembered that was me at one point. Now, I have a second chance to enjoy myself thanks to such a skilled doctor, Dr. Li, and his knowledgeable, caring and friendly staff.
