> We took our elderly mom to Dr Khurana’s office not only was he patient but very thorough in his recommendation. Since my mom was an urgent case their office worked hard to get her scheduled for surgery  the same week. Kudos to Jessica from their surgerical team who handled all the paperwork seamlessly. Great experience!

> Really strong first impressions. Easy to park. Warmly greeted by the staff when I arrived. Comfortable waiting room. They were ahead of schedule and got me in early. Every person I met was warm and professional, and excellent at their job. Had a great meeting with the doctor. However, my last conversation was with someone who was going to follow up with me the following day to schedule my surgery. That was a week ago, and I never heard back from their office. In summary, the in person experience was excellent. The follow up, not so much.

> I’ve been a patient of Dr. Sanjay Kourana for about 10 years and was referred to him by a friend who had surgery with him. Over that time, he has consistently inspired confidence in his knowledge and judgment. He’s always kind, professional, and respectful of my time — I’m never left waiting. His staff is equally friendly and efficient. He has a calm, reassuring manner that makes you feel you’re in very good hands.

> Everything was easy from my first phone call to my post op visit. I had surgery from Dr Khurana 10 years ago, and when i was out of town and in alot of pain, I made a phone appointment with him and i was scheduled for surgery the following week. Dr Khurana came in obviously before my surgery and two times after. My 1 week post op was with his PA Brianna and it was great. I walked in a bit early and was taken immediately. She answered all my questions, was very personable and I felt very comfortable there. The front desk staff were very friendly as well.

> When I arrived for my first appointment I entered the front desk area, it was evident that everyone and everything was well organized. I arrived early,  as I am a new patient, and provided notes and images of recent MRIs and CT scan. The front desk staff was professional and personable. Before my appointment time, the X-ray technician came for me to take a routine spine image. He has a great sense of humor, and quickly completed the X-ray. He also escorted me to the patient room. The Doctor's assistant arrived almost immediately and asked some routine questions regarding my current symptoms and pain level. Dr. Khurana arrived at about 5 minutes after my scheduled time. We discussed my past history, and he reviewed the recent MRI and CT images I had provided. He offered a surgical solution and discussed/explained how it would be accomplished while showing me on the images what would be done. I was treated with the utmost courtesy and respect by everyone.  I thank everyone associated with my appointment for making this first visit a pleasure.
> 
> Revision L5-S1, posterior decompression and extension of fusion to pelvis was scheduled for August 5, 2024.
> When I arrived for surgery, it was clear that the admitting staff was well organized and professional. There was a sense of calm which reduced any anxiety I had.
> I was escorted to my room in a timely manner by one of the nurses. Almost as soon as I had changed into a hospital gown, Dr. Khurana and the Anesthesiologist came in to discuss the procedure, medications, expectations, etc. I was treated with the utmost respect as we discussed the medications to which I am allergic or highly sensitive. In short, I cannot take narcotics or opiods for pain, which was a challenge for the medical team. However, my requests were honored, and I did very well. In addition, two of my best friends "stood in" for my family who were unavailable. They were treated with the highest regard and were updated on my condition as though they were my family.
> I was released to go home the afternoon of August 6 with routine post-op instructions.
> My post-op appointment with Dr. Khurana was September 20, 2024. I am making good progress, and I am very thankful for Dr. Khurana's expertise and willingness to address my spine issues.
> The entire staff at DOCS Surgical Hospital is exceptional!! The nurses were quickly available when needed, but did not "hover".
> Without exception, this was the best surgical experience of my life, and this was the 7th on my spine.

> Courteous front office staff. Minimal wait. Post op X-ray done, friendly X-ray tech. PA saw me first, did not rush and answered all my questions. (PA Bri has been very responsive via email in the interim before this latest appt). MD saw me next, did not rush and answered remaining questions. Back office staff will handle my work leave and EDD and PT prescription. Best of all, the unrelenting sciatica pain for the past 6 mos is gone. I did not wait to do the procedure, though I didn’t want to do it, and I think that made the difference for a good outcome. I have diminishing post op pain and increase in activity (6 weeks post op) as the weeks go on. Very relieved this is over and grateful for the good results.

> I visited Dr. Khurana for a 2nd opinion and in the process was won over to a new spine specialist.
> 
> When my physical therapist recommended Dr. Khurana as someone I should get an opinion from, his was a name I’d heard many times over the years. He had a reputation as one of the top spine surgeons in the country. This was something I’d heard touted numerous times over the years.
> 
> Selecting a doctor with Dr Khurana’s prominence to render a second opinion on a surgery I was scheduled to undergo was comforting to my unsettled mind. I was seeking confidence that the surgery I was about to undergo was appropriate. Alternatives approaches hadn’t been discussed and in the absence of such, I was left to assume surgery was my only option. I just didn’t know the degree of necessity. Was it absolutely necessary?  Unsure as I was, I was racing toward another double ADR surgery. I already had double ADR surgery some years ago. Following through with the surgery as planned would render the majority of my cervical spine artificial. Was this even prudent? How many quadruple ADRs exist in the universe? What are the outcomes? I had questions and needed confirmation from another spine specialist that additional ADR surgery was my best course of action.
> 
> Dr. Khurana analyzed my cervical imaging and surgical history. He reviewed his interpretations with me and my wife, provided us ample time to ask all the questions that had remained unanswered and in the end, it was Dr. Khurana opinion that I didn’t need surgery. Dr. Khurana explained his diagnosis and other more measured alternatives available to treat my case. My visit to Dr. Khurana was as relieving as it was revealing.
> 
> I feel very fortunate to have turned to Dr. Khurana for answers. It was, in retrospect, a very good decision. Dr. Khurana may be a highly regarded spine surgeon, but he’s a good doctor because he understands the importance of communication and through it, connects. By comparison, It’s now obvious to me what I was missing in my relationship with my previous spine doctor – a human connection.

He is conservative in his approach which I appreciate.  He explains everything thoroughly and answers all my questions.  His office is well run and everyone is friendly and professional.  And they run on schedule, no long waits.  👍

> Dr Sanjay Khurana is the number one spine surgeon on the West Coast and top five in the country. If not the best he’s done two neck and two back surgeries on me and my experience at his facilities at the Commons was nothing short of a miracle. I was referred there by my friend Dr Gary Brazina  i’ve had 100% recovery and have a new body to continue doing my extreme sports photos. Attached the efficiency of his office staff is incredible. I was terrified to have the surgeries done and now I would recommend him to anyone because he will fix your problems and take your pain away. incredible experience all the way around. With 100% success, my body feels like it’s 30 not 66 and I intend on continuing my extreme sports life. Thank you, Dr. Khurana  and your office staff. After my first surgery, I was at a Laker game overall the results have been nothing short of a miracle. The facilities at the Commons are nicer than most five star hotels and his surgical team was incredible. The follow up is even better. If you’ve been waiting because you’re afraid of having your spine worked on, don’t wait any longer. This has been life-changing for me. The bulk of my injuries have been with me since my 20s from the athletics of the car. Accident didn’t help these injuries obtained through a life of incredible sports and I feel blessed to be able to continue although have retired from the pro water ski jumping, but we’ll still be doing the extreme snow skiing along with all my other sports paddle boarding ultimate frisbee pickle ball. The list goes on and on when I went into Dr Khurana’s Office I couldn’t walk unassisted.

> I give Dr. Khurana a million stars if I could.  He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I thought I hurt my left shoulder somehow and had excruciating nerve pain running down my left arm.  It was so bad I wanted to chew it off myself. I went to several doctors that sent me for an MRI of the shoulder and was sent for physical therapy.  One finally sent me for an MRI of my neck which showed a degenerative disk that was pressing on a nerve.  I wasn't comfortable with that doctor or a fan of spine surgery so I went to a chiropractor for help.  After several treatments there was no relief in sight.  By some miracle my dermatologist suggested I call Dr. Khurana and get a second opinion.  I did and was able to get an appointment the next day!  When he saw me almost in tears from the pain and me telling him I had a planned trip to Italy a week later, he immediately told me he would make room for me to have surgery to replace a disk in my neck the very next day.  Something about the way he said it and of course researching him the day prior, made me feel at ease.  Well, he did the surgery, it took a few days to feel myself again, but only because of the anesthesia.  I felt no pain the moment I woke after surgery.  The pain was gone!  Within one week, I was able to board several flights, pain free and enjoy a well deserved Italian vacation with my family.  I wouldn't have been able to do that without the surgery and certainly not without  Dr. Khurana's expertise!  His staff from the front desk to the surgery center he uses to his after care team is by far the BEST I have ever experienced.  Don't hesitate to make an appointment if you have spinal pain.  You have a life to live and Dr. Khurana may help you live it pain free!  Thank you again doctor for your compassion!

> I have to preface my comments about my experience with Dr. Khurana and his staff with the fact that I have never been a fan of allopathic medicine, doctors and especially surgeons would be a massive understatement. Almost every friend and family member that's ever had to have surgery, especially back surgery has only come out worse for the wear. Or having to go back multiple times and never recovering partially or fully.
> I was referred by my primary care physician who could not stop raving about Dr. Khurana as he had fixed one of those bad surgeries I mentioned. Needless to say I was not excited but the pain I was experiencing with my degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis and bulging discs was having a tremendous effect on my mental well-being and ability to do the simplest tasks. Just say I was depressed would've been an understatement.
> Even though the spinal fusion surgery on my L4 L5 disc's was due before the Covid pandemic hit I was forced to wait three years for my surgery. He advised me if I woke up paralyzed I should call immediately. It was a long three years and not because of the pandemic itself. Possible paralysis can be horrifying consideration.
> Because I was a Medicare patient I had the surgery performed at St. John's hospital. 
> I happen to have a strange condition where I am highly resistant to anesthesia and have woken up twice during minor surgeries and although by now I was completely unafraid of the surgery itself because I knew I was in such good hands  (I had three years to do a lot of research on Dr. Khurana) but the anesthesia situation was still terrifying. I knew the surgery would be longer and more complicated than originally planned but the anesthesiologist completely understood my legitimate concern.
> To be totally honest I don't remember a thing after getting to the hospital after prepping myself early that morning. And afterwards there was much less pain than I expected and after a year and a half I'm happy to report after getting fresh imaging and consulting with Dr. Khurana last week found out that the surgery was a complete success. 
> I've spoken to surgeons in the past, For myself and as support for friends and family and I have never ever met a surgeon as warm and genuinely caring as this wonderful man. On top of that he also has the patience of a saint. I am not an easy patient, I am well aware of that. But no matter how many phone calls I made and my endless questions and concerns everyone from reception to his medical assistant always treated me with kindness and compassion, like a human being and not just a patient or a file number.
> After the summer I will be going back to have the screws taken out of my back since the bone grafting was so successful and this time they will be no fear involved whatsoever.
> It's been five years since we started our journey. It's not over yet and hopefully my DDD will not require any future surgeries. But should I ever need another you can trust I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to his office again.
> I'm grateful that he is so much younger than me and hope he never leaves the Los Angeles area.
> Anyone who has the opportunity to have this extraordinarily gifted and compassionate surgeon perform a procedure on them they are incredibly blessed.
> I am so grateful he did not decide to become a car mechanic with those gifted hands and golden heart.

> It was difficult to know where to park. Then it was difficult to know to follow the signs. Then when leaving you have to have a code which I did but machine would no work until I also put my credit card in. These would be simple instructions to be given to new patients.
> My problems were not resolved yet. I didn't realize they would need my neck MRI as well but next time they will. Unfortunately I have to wait another month.
> Dr. Khurana was very personable and positive. He did not rush however I left with no suggestions for my discomfort.
