Dr. Yashar is a fellowship-trained Board-Certified Neurosurgeon, specializing in outpatient spine surgery as well as cranial and endovascular procedures. He has performed countless spine operations, including those involving challenging degenerative spinal conditions, spine tumors, and complex spinal trauma.
Dr. Yashar treats every patient as a whole patient, rather than only focusing on their symptoms or condition alone. Dr. Yashar is thorough with each and every patient as he believes each patient is the center of their care team–he discusses their conditions with them and reviews their images together, inviting them to participate in their health care decision.
>Dr. Yashar believes in treating patients first with conservative, nonsurgical therapies first, as a majority of patients do not require surgical intervention. Should surgery become necessary, he offers the safest, most effective, and least invasive approach. Dr. Yashar is passionate about minimally-invasive spine surgery and motion preservation (Artificial Disc Replacement surgery, Minimally-Invasive Lumbar laminectomy surgery) as these allow patients the opportunity to return to their level of performance expeditiously. He provides personalized attention to each and every patient and welcomes questions and discussion about each of the treatment options.
Education/Training:
B.S. in Cybernetics with Departmental Honors, UCLA - Summa cum laude
MD, Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University
Residency in Neurological Surgery, LAC+USC / Keck School of Medicine
Fellowship in Endovascular Neurosurgery, University at Buffalo (UBNS)
Certifications:
Board-Certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS)
Multiple publications and abstracts in Peer-Reviewed medical journals and conferences
Bradley A. Jabour, M.D. is the founder and medical director of Smart Brain and Health. Dr. Jabour is a senior member of the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR), having completed neuroradiology fellowships both at USC and a second year at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) where he was an attending professor in neuroradiology.
Dr. Jabour initiated the use of functional MRI in the detection and management of various neuropsychiatric disorders such as Depression and OCD. His company Smart Brain and Health has pioneered the use of stereotactic neuronavigation techniques, usually used in neurosurgery, to more accurately target selected regions in the brain in order to more effectively target Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Dr. Jabour has also founded multiple other affiliate companies such as Medical Imaging Center of Southern California, Smart Heart and Health, Women’s Imaging at Medical Imaging Center, and Directed Interventional Surgery Center (DISC).

Richard M. Young, MD, is a highly trained neurosurgeon with the team at Inland Neurosurgery Institute (INI) in Pomona and Arcadia, California.
Dr. Young was born in Taiwan and came to the United States at an early age. His grandmother always predicted that he would be a doctor. Since the age of 3, he would hold her head when she had a migraine and would say, “When I get older, I will take care of you.”
Excelling in science and math, he went to college as an electrical engineering major at UC San Diego. However, his calling into medicine resulted in him graduating cum laude in biochemistry and cell biology. He continued his journey into medical school at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York, where he discovered his passion for neurosurgery.
This passion derived from a pivotal case during medical school, where a patient was in a coma from a ruptured brain aneurysm. That same patient recovered weeks later from the brain bleed and surgery. “To have the ability to save a person’s life…that’s what I want to do.”
He completed his neurosurgical training at The George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC. During his training, he also spent a year as a research fellow at the National Institute of Health (NIH) – NINDS – Medical Division. After completing his residency at GWU, he came back to the west coast to UCLA for a two-year neurointerventional/neuroendovascular surgery CAST certified fellowship.
Not only has he written many articles, book chapters, poster presentations, and a journal cover for JNS-Spine, but he was also awarded the Bannister Award both for the fastest treatment time of removing a blood clot in the brain during his fellowship at UCLA.
“Everyone knows how important the brain is, and if damage occurs to the brain, it can be devastating to that person and their family. To me, I do not see a patient but rather another human being that I am trying to help get better, like my grandmother. The reason I joined the group of neurosurgeons at Inland Neurosurgery Institute is that my colleagues share the same vision for helping people.”
During his free time, Dr. Young enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, running, and swimming.
