    My desire to become a doctor and then a neurosurgeon stemmed from a love for science and technology in my childhood, as well as a passion for community service and helping others in need. While in college and medical school, I observed several brain and spine surgeries and was awed by the technical skill and precision required to perform such intricate procedures. I also enjoy contributing to the advancement of the field through innovation in surgical techniques and technology.  There is truly no better feeling in the world than seeing one of your patients have a successful outcome and knowing that you contributed to their success.My special clinical interests include: Minimally-invasive spine surgery, degenerative spinal conditions, revision spine surgery and spinal deformity surgery, spinal tumors, primary brain tumors, metastatic tumors to the brain and spine, meningiomas and benign skull base tumors, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations.In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking and international travel.I strongly believe that a neurosurgeon's ultimate responsibility is to ensure the safety of the patients under his care. In my opinion, this is best achieved with strict attention to detail and adherence to community standards of care. I also believe in open and honest communication between the doctor and the patient. Oftentimes, especially in the field of neurosurgery, there are many different potential treatments or surgeries for a given condition. I therefore think it is essential to incorporate the patient's desires into any treatment or surgical plan, especially after a thorough discussion outlining all of the treatment options. My patients are my top priority, and I take pride in doing everything possible to ensure they have a successful outcome while under my care.

    Dr. Yi-Ren Chen, MD is a neurosurgeon in Carmichael and Sacramento, CA. He specializes in minimally invasive spine, complex and redo spine, spinal deformity/ scoliosis, and brain and spinal tumors.I became a physician and neurosurgeon because of my desire to help others and cure neurological and spinal diseases.

After double majoring in biology and history at Stanford University, I received my MD from Stanford and MPH from Johns Hopkins. During training, I was awed by the precision and technical excellence required to perform brain and spine surgery, and subsequently completed both neurosurgery residency and minimally invasive fellowship at Stanford. I have been fortunate to author 34 publications, 15 book chapters, 50 talks, and 49 abstracts, and continue to do my part in the advancement of neurosurgical care as an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Stanford University Medical Center. My clinical interests include minimally invasive spine surgery, degenerative spinal conditions (lumbar stenosis and back pain), complex spinal deformity surgery, redo/ revision spinal surgery, spine tumors, metastatic tumors to the brain and spine, primary brain tumors, meningiomas, skull base and pituitary surgeries, arteriovenous malformations, and aneurysms. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, and cooking with my wife and kids.I believe in caring for and treating every patient as though they were my own family – with expertise, compassion, and the highest level of care. I strive to partner with patients to provide individualized and meticulous care, working together to find the best possible treatment plan to achieve a successful outcome. I am also a believer in minimally invasive techniques in both spine and brain surgery with the goal of getting patients back on their feet as soon as possible.

    The reasons for becoming a medical provider are different from the reasons I continue to be one. When I made neurosurgery my career, my intent was to help individuals to health with neurosurgery, and this was and continues to be an extremely rewarding part of my work. More recently I have additional interest in informing and educating colleagues and patients to prevent disease and creating systems and processes that promote health in populations.  In my free time I enjoy running, wine, gardening, hiking, pets, cooking and computer programming. I am also a dog shelter volunteer.All living things exist in a delicately balanced state. Disease is the manifestation of an imbalance. Prevention of disease (learning how to prevent imbalance) is the biggest contribution the provider can make to the well-being of the patient. For the sick, as a provider, I feel my job is to identify the cause of an imbalance and help the patient regain health. Most healing comes from the patient- I can help guide the body's natural healing abilities, but I cannot create health. His clinical expertise encompasses Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumors (DNET), Brain Stem Cancer, Meningioma, and Subdural Hematoma. Dr. Sahrakar is board certified in Neurological Surgery.

    What is a neurosurgeon? 

    A neurosurgeon is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spine, and nerves. While neurosurgeons are skilled in performing surgeries, they often recommend non-surgical treatments first, such as medications or physical therapy, depending on the condition. Conditions treated by neurosurgeons include brain tumors, herniated discs, spinal injuries, and nerve compression. Neurosurgeons work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for neurological disorders. 

    Why am I being referred to a neurosurgeon?    

    A referral to a neurosurgeon is typically made when a condition affecting the brain, spine, or nerves requires specialized care. This might include chronic back or neck pain, nerve damage, a brain tumor, or traumatic injury. Neurosurgeons carefully evaluate each case and do not always recommend surgery. Instead, they may suggest alternative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes. If surgery is necessary, they discuss all options and explain the risks and benefits to help patients make informed decisions. 

    What surgeries are performed by neurosurgeons? 

    Neurosurgeons perform a wide range of procedures to address conditions of the nervous system. These include: 

    • Brain tumor removal 
    • Aneurysm repair to prevent brain bleeding 

    They also utilize advanced techniques, such as robotics and imaging, to improve outcomes and reduce recovery times. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s specific needs. 

    What is the difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist?     

    Neurosurgeons and neurologists both specialize in conditions of the nervous system, but their roles differ. Neurosurgeons are trained to perform surgeries for conditions like brain tumors, spine disorders, and nerve injuries. Neurologists focus on diagnosing and managing neurological disorders without surgery, such as epilepsy, migraines, or multiple sclerosis. These specialists often work together to provide patients with a full range of care and treatment options. 

    What can you expect during your first visit to a neurosurgeon?     

    During your initial appointment, the neurosurgeon will: 

    1. Review your medical history: Discuss your symptoms and any previous treatments. 
    1. Conduct a physical examination: Perform a neurological exam to assess nerve function. 
    1. Order diagnostic tests: Recommend imaging studies like MRI or CT scans if necessary. 
    1. Discuss treatment options: Explain potential treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, tailored to your condition. 

    This visit aims to develop a personalized treatment plan and address any questions you may have. 

    When should I see a Neurosurgeon near folsom, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Neurosurgeon near folsom, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Neurosurgeons near folsom, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Neurosurgeons near folsom, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Neurosurgeon in folsom?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Neurosurgeon search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Neurosurgeon?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Neurosurgeon near folsom, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Neurosurgeon?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Neurosurgeon may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Neurosurgeons near folsom, CA?
