Listening and clear explanations reviews

Dr Estees was efficient, professional, caring, patient. Took time to explain the diagnoses and treatment options. She went ahead and gave me cortisone shots that relieved the pains for now!

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Ramkumar and his team. My knee injury was by far the worst injury I’ve ever had. It was scary and life altering. I needed a complete ACL reconstruction (using a patellar tendon graft), posterolateral corner reconstruction (using a cadaver ligament), and my peroneal nerve needed to be separated and released from my torn bicep femoris tendon that was pulling on it, causing me to experience foot drop. I have limited medical knowledge, but Dr. Ramkumar has always happily taken the time to explain the prognosis, plan of action, and future goals to me without hesitation or judgement. I really appreciate his straight-forward answers, even when they aren’t happy answers. He has been 100% real and honest with me throughout the entire process and I’m very grateful for that. I am 13 months post-op and my knee feels great! After a year of physical therapy and diligent work at home, I am seeing great improvements in my foot drop as well, a sign that the nerve he freed up is healing properly. I definitely recommend Dr. Ramkumar for anyone who needs knee or hip surgery or consultation. His confidence, knowledge, action plans, pre/post-op care, and staff are top notch!

I was kind of leery about using Zocdoc, but you know I’m gonna start using this more often. I was really happy with the doctor I selected. She was very, very good at explaining and I’m gonna keep her.

I saw Briana for my first post-op appointment. She was great-answered all my questions. She is very accessible via text during the week if I have any questions.

I was a patient of Dr Bhalla's recently for low back pain. Everything about the experience was top-notch, five star. His office staff is very friendly and helpful. The office space itself is state of the art, very clean and nice, and Dr Bhalla is exceptional. His compassion and care for his patients is very evident, he is very kind and explained the nature and treatment options for my issue very clearly. I could not recommend Dr Bhalla enough - you will be in great hands!!

Dr Estees was friendly and knowledgeable. She took time to explain the diagnosis and cause, and offered options without going straight to surgery.

Dr Millstein is personable, knowledgeable, practical and efficient. He explained the shoulder pain came from bone on bone caused by arthritis. He treated me with a cortisone shot which has made a world of difference. We have a treatment plan for the future and I feel comfortable that he will be a good partner in helping me keep active.

I have been seeing Dr. Kamrava for several years - he is wonderful. He gives me the information, advice, and explanations I need, and he is helping me to manage knee and back pain. I highly recommend him.

I am 14 weeks post-op, I’m thrilled to be gradually returning to the activities I love! Dr. Ramkumar is, without a doubt, the best orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever met—and I’ve seen quite a few for different injuries. From my very first appointment, I knew I was in great hands. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answered all my questions, and was realistic about both the recovery process and potential outcomes. His transparency and attentiveness gave me a strong sense of confidence going into surgery. There was an issue with my insurance initially refusing to authorize the surgery, which was incredibly stressful, but Dr. Ramkumar’s office took care of everything. They worked tirelessly to get the approval without any delays, and I’m so grateful for their advocacy and professionalism. The surgery went perfectly! Dr. Ramkumar even stopped by afterward to check on me, and I was able to ask some last-minute questions. While I understand his schedule doesn’t always allow for this, I really appreciated the extra care. Recovery has been much smoother than I anticipated, with no pain at all. I followed his post-op protocol strictly and asked additional questions whenever I felt uncertain. Before surgery, we discussed my preference to avoid opioids if possible, but we agreed it was wise to have them on hand just in case. I ended up only needing two half-doses for the first two nights to help me sleep. I started physical therapy the day after surgery and followed Dr. Ramkumar’s recovery guidelines, including stationary biking. It’s crucial to remember that large potion of any successful recovery depends on your own dedication to PT, so staying diligent is key. Dr. Ramkumar is not only an exceptionally skilled surgeon but also a compassionate and caring person who truly puts his patients first. If you’re considering labrum repair—or other hip/knee procedures—do yourself a favor and schedule a consult with him. No matter where you’re located, it’ll be worth it!

Every step, from intake to discharge, was courteous, professional and on time. Great communication from Dr.Kamrava and his staff. Very compassionate folks. Highly recommended.

Dr Bhalla spent time explaining my spine issues. He reviewed my MRI and made a referral to another orthopedist regarding knee problem. I felt that Dr. Bhalla gave me individual treatment and did not push any invasive treatment. His kindness and care of patients is obvious.

I have had a good experience following my back surgery. Pain has been relieved. Dr Bhalla listened to my concerns.

Due to an accident a few years back in 2022, I developed cervical and lumbar pain. This pain has disrupted my life, caused depression, anxiety, negated the quality of my life, where I’ve become withdrawn from participating in life, having lost my confidence and failing in getting daily accomplishments completed. A week ago, my lumbar pain was a 16, (on a scale of 1 to 10). Because of the accident, I need surgery on cervical and lumbar regions. I opted to have the cervical surgery first. However, the thought of having this surgery did not give me any peace of mind. With time my lumbar spine pain greatly increased in severity, affecting my daily life and ability to sleep for 8 hours a night; (the pain would wake me up several times a night). Last week I had the first of two surgeries by Dr. Vokshoor; with Dr. Kamrava performing a lumbar epidural. The epidural results have been absolutely and instantaneously amazing. I hadn’t known about Dr. Kamrava’s successful work; and had anxiety and negative thoughts about the procedure. However, I did know enough to listen Dr. Vokshoor’s advice in having his trusted colleague, Dr. Kamrava perform the lumbar epidural. Post-surgery, it’s been 1-1/2 weeks and I have not experienced any lumbar pain. Personally, being pain free in my lumbar region is a miracle and I should’ve had this procedure over a year ago, but fear had held me back. (When experiencing severe pain, one becomes fearful and of the following mindset: if something happens during the epidural, (or surgery), then my pain will only become worse - … and I can barely take it like it is….’). Long-term pain is accompanied by any or all of the following: depression, anxiety and fear, loss of hope, anger etc., and more. I hope I have chosen my words properly, in communicating just how grateful I am to Dr. Kamrava, (as well as to Dr. Vokshoor). The quality of my life is changing. I have a lumbar surgery with Dr. Vokshoor on the horizon; and I can see hope and light at the end of the journey of surgeries. I will be able to move forward being structurally sound, say goodbye to chronic pain and with the precious time I have on earth; take my goals off of the top shelf and focus on them again. Dr. Kamrava will be my pain management guru and help me to the goal of living a pain and medication free life. Thank you to my amazing doctors and to you for reading my honest truth and being vulnerable.

“I can’t recommend Dr. Ramkumar highly enough! As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee and hip issues, he is not only highly skilled but also genuinely compassionate. From my first visit, Dr. Ramkumar took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my treatment options in detail, and make me feel at ease. His bedside manner is exceptional, and it’s clear that Dr. Ramkumar truly cares about his patients. The surgery itself was a success, and my recovery has been smoother than I ever expected, thanks to Dr. Ramkumar’s expert care and guidance. Beyond being a talented surgeon, Dr. Ramkumar is just a genuinely nice person who inspires confidence and trust. If you’re looking for an orthopedic surgeon for knee or hip issues, look no further—you’ll be in excellent hands!”

Dr.Bae always has time to answer all my questions. I never feel rushed. A very caring office

Hyun Bae, MD

Dr. Estess was articulate, communicative and patient in explaining to me what my issues are and how to deal with them.

Allyson Estess, MD

All I can say is that I’ve now had. Dr. Bay put artificial discs in my neck 10 years ago and literally saved my golfing career. Before coming to him, I could hardly grip a club. Since the surgery, I’ve won seven club championships between two clubs in the last 10 years 6 weeks ago I had db Bae fix my back. I couldn’t walk or put weight on my leg. 4 hours after surgery I walked unassisted around the hospital wing. My sciatica on the left side was severe. Now on the way to recovery #2. Optimistic and can say with conviction that there is a difference in neuro surgeons he is worth every penny he charges. And newsflash he isn’t as expensive as some others. In summary all I can say is that if you have a spine issue listen to this man. He knows his craft. Btw I have the exact same feedback from everyone I e sent to him. He is the best that I know of.

Hyun Bae, MD

Dr. Bahalla answered all my questions. His staff is friendly and professional. His new office is much more convenient and beautiful.
