Compassion and bedside manner.
In patients’ words.

My appt was a follow-up to my successful surgery by Dr. Khurana of several years ago. My concerns were reviewed, and several options were identified. Dr. Khurana is a caring and experienced surgeon. I highly recommend him.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Sanjay Khurana has been my doctor since 2010. He is VERY knowledgeable, thorough, patient and kind and is not quick to suggest surgery and/or cut. Dr. Khurana’s staff is very professional and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Sanjay Khurana.

Dr. Bae and the team made an excellent first impression. Dr. Bae was extremely personable, a great listener, and took the time to fully understand my concerns and answer my questions. I especially appreciated his thoughtful approach to shared decision-making—he clearly explained my options without making me feel rushed or pressured. His combination of expertise, compassion, and genuine care made me feel very comfortable and confident in his recommendations.

I would like to say that Dr. Ramkumar is very driven and compassionate with his craft of being a Orthopedic doctor. If you read his bio and you will know why I say he is a patients doctor. He performed a meniscus repair on my right knee and after surgery I was not in any pain like I was the 1st time when it was performed by Kaiser. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar and keep up the great work of keeping people up on their feet. Peace and Blessing from the most HIGH.

Dr. Lee was excellent and took time during his lunch to speak with via phone since I was out of town. He asked a lot of pertinent questions to try to determine what my actual issue was. He was extremely kind and caring. Would highly recommend speaking with Dr. David Lee.

Dr Estess is an amazing surgeon and has fabulous bedside manners and very patient with my in pain aunt. Everyone in our family fell in love with her and we appreciate her very much.

I was referred to Dr. Prem Ramkumar after a sports injury that left me needing ACL and meniscus surgery on both knees, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful that I was sent his way. From my very first appointment, Dr. Prem and his entire team made me feel like I was in the best hands. I had never been through an injury or recovery like this before, and the thought of having surgery on both knees was overwhelming. Dr. Prem walked me through everything step by step, answered every question I had, and always made sure I understood what to expect. He gave me so much confidence going into both surgeries and throughout my recovery. From pre-op, to surgery, to all of my follow-up appointments, I have felt genuinely cared for and supported. Dr. Prem is not only an incredible surgeon, but someone who truly cares about his patients and their recovery. His entire office has been wonderful as well, and that kind of support makes such a difference when you’re going through something this challenging. I still have more recovery ahead of me, but I’m so thankful for how far I’ve come and for the care I’ve received along the way. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Prem and his entire team and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dealing with a sports injury or needing orthopedic surgery.

Dr. Bhalla is a warm and kind surgeon of great skill. Returning for an appointment after a few years, the new office is inviting, spotless and comfortable. And free parking! Moreover, the entire appointment was efficient (on time!) , well-organized and thorough. The staff were all friendly and professional. It was a great experience.

Dr. Kuhrana is the most skilled and caring doctor I’ve ever met. He performed surgery on me in 2014 and did a phenomenal job. When I’ve seen him since he’s always very caring and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Sanjay Khurana, MD

Beautiful office, well run, fabulous staff and a caring and attentive doctor.

Eric S. Millstein, MD

Dr. Bhalla was kind, listened to my concerns, and explained the current issues and the next steps involving my treatment . The front desk staff was friendly, and I only waited 10 minutes past my appointment time. Great experience overall!”

Dr. Bhalla is great! I've had back issues and intermittent pain throughout my adult years. Whenever it got intolerable I resorted to acupuncture and/or chiropractic care and on a few occasions epidurals. Someone cutting on my back was not anything I was receptive to. When sciatic episodes became more frequent and longer lasting and I was forced to postpone scheduled knee replacement surgery I reluctantly decided to again consult an orthopedic surgeon. After initial consultation, x-rays and MRI I had follow up appointment with Dr. Bhalla to discuss options. He recommended surgery. Still reluctant to go that route I opted for another try with an epidural, but to to no avail. Back to Dr. Bhalla who told me the problems were going to continue to get worse so at age 73 I finally agreed to surgery. Lower lumber fusion surgery was performed at Long Beach Memorial Hospital by Dr. Bhalla and Dr. Rao (vascular surgeon). Anterior Lumber Interbody Fusion (ALIF) and laminectomy surgeries were performed on Monday and Thursday of the same week. The week in the hospital (overall very good care and treatment) and first 2 weeks at home I experienced moderate pain and discomfort but nothing intolerable. After 2 weeks of light rehab at home I started physical therapy program. After several weeks of PT my back felt really good. It has been nearly one year since the surgery and other than minimal discomfort during the initial recovery period I have experienced no back pain! From the initial consultation through the post-op visits Dr. Bhalla thoroughly explained all the options, the details of the surgical procedure, the recovery and rehabilitation process and patiently answered all my questions. Dr. Bhalla is a compassionate and highly skilled physician and surgeon! And, kudos to his very competent and kind office staff. While back surgery is a last resort, if there is no other viable way to address your pain and problems Dr. Bhalla is the surgeon for you.

Office staff were pleasant and welcoming. The wait was short; I was taken care of quickly and efficiently. Dr. Lee is easy to talk with; he listens and responds with empathy. His recommendations are on point. I do recommend completing the intake forms prior to the appointment and early arrival to find a suitable parking spot.

David Lee, MD

Dr Bae took his time to think out and explain everything. He showed us pictures of my neck stenosis MRI and what the surgery entailed. He was kind and thoughtful. He was very reassuring and recommended one more test before the final decision.

Hyun Bae, MD

Very pleased with my visit with Dr. Millstein, who answered all my questions and gave me positive feedback on my condition. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Thanks! Also, want to compliment the X-Ray tech, Estefan (sp) for his kind attention, and the receptionist who dealt with my parking problems, and all the others who participated in my care. Really nice atmosphere, all in all.

Dr Sanjay Khurana is a humble genius . I am writing on behalf of my husband a retired surgeon. He suffered two serious collisions and has had a 16 year history of back issues . Dr took at least half hour to review the current MRI and CT . He had performed surgery to remove a large ruptured disc fragment ,as emergency , in 2017 and fusion in 2019 . We reviewed new techniques and have a move forward treatment plan. Dr recommended we get second opinion and give serious thought . We have total confidence in his opinion and his surgical skill, empathy, and ability to communicate. 5 stars !!

Sanjay Khurana, MD

I’m incredibly impressed with Dr. Bae. He was very compassionate and was working hard to resolve a rather complicated a situation.
